Marcelo was an awesome host! Everything was just as it appears in the pictures and description, but even better than that. Marcelo included a detailed guide to the neighborhood and had great recommendations for places to eat, explore and get comfortable in Rio.
The location was excellent - right on Copacabana beach, but a 7-10 minute walk over to Ipanema. Couldn't have asked for a better location. I would definitely stay here again, and hesitant to give such a good review so that it doesn't end up booked the next time I come to Rio.
