Marcio & Claudio were very welcoming (even greeting me with a caipirinha!). Their recommendations for local food and activities were perfect (Posto 9, Terra Brasilis, Sugarloaf Trail, etc.) The space is beautiful and comfortable, and the location is incredible: convenient to two small beaches and Sugarloaf Mountain, in a very safe neighborhood, and a very short Uber from Copacabana, Ipanema, and shuttle pick up locations for Cristo Redentor. I would absolutely stay here again if I get another chance to visit Rio.
