Marcello was a great and authentic host. He gave us nice tips about rio and was always good for a chat. The apartment is well equipped and has a great view.
Unfortunantely, in the morning the street was rather noisy. Also there is no key to lock the apartments door, only a key for the frontdoor.
One should be aware that glória is hilly and the way from/to metro takes 15-20 minutes.
Overall no major problems and we definitely recommend staying there!
