Marcelo is one of the best hosts we had during our adventures in South America. He was incredibly welcoming, showed us around the apartment and explained all of the details necessary for our stay including security with the doorman. He also left us several cans of soft drink and a bottle of bubbles for our New Years celebrations! However the most outstanding feature of our stay was Marcelo's neighbourhood tour! In the middle of the hot day, Marcelo was kind enough to escort us around the block, showed us the best places to eat, where to buy supplies and even recommended us a local churrascaria (which was indeed delicious!). Thanks so much Marcelo for making our visit to Rio a great one!
