It was great meeting Marcio, born and bred Carioca, who gave me loads of tips and pieces of advice to explore Rio, not to mention the yoga sessions on the beach! Marcio was very warm and accommodating.

The apartment is very well located - 5mn walk to Copacabana beach, 3mn away from the tube station, with loads of little bars , restaurants and shops around.

The room did get quite hot at times but there was a fan put at disposal.
