Marcelo is a great host. Very Responsive and I really appreciate being met in person and shown around when I arrived. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had all of the right amenities. Also gorgeous green views out all of the windows.
It is a small one bedroom so really I would not recommend for more than two or it would be quite cramped. The only other negative is that Leme, the neighborhood it’s in, is a good twenty minute walk from the metro, and adds a bit to car travel as well. So you have to factor that in depending on where you are planning on visiting.
On the plus side Leme is quiet, And the beach is not as crowded as other parts of Copacabana. There’s also a decent sized grocery store that is open 24 hours around the corner.
All in all, I recommend this apartment.
