Marcelo was a very gracious and accommodating host, we had a terrific experience in this clean and updated apartment. It was quiet and only a block and a half from Copacabana beach, we also took advantage of some of the more local restaurants which were close by and highly recommended. We felt very safe in the secure building with full time door man and also enjoyed the fact that the unit is a corner apartment with windows on 3 sides providing views of the dense foliage and playful monkeys below. We would definitely stay here again for Carnival!
