Our stay at Marcelo's place was superb. The posting can't do justice to how great the apartment is. Spacious, comfortable and so well decorated you could spend hours just admiring it. And when it comes to location, it the best you can get. Close to the beach, to subway stations and bike sharing stations. It has plenty of restaurants and stores around and it's less than 20 minutes by Uber from all the major tourist spots. The hostess, Sandra, is eager to help and can accommodate everything you need, giving great tips on how to best enjoy the city. We'll for sure make an effort to stay there next time we're in Rio!
