We had an amazing time in Rio and Marcio was a great addition as a host. He was very friendly, attentive and quick to respond. We were met with a bowl of fresh fruits and he proactively checked in on us daily and gave us loads of recommendations on places to visit and restaurants to eat at. Everything he recommended was a hit. The icing on the cake was graciously letting us check out later as our flight out of Rio was in the evening.
We felt safe with the 24 hours guard at the gate and constant police patrolling the area. The beach is literally a 3-5mins walk with lots of daily action. I have already recommended Marcio to friends who want to visit Rio and will definitely return to stay here in the future. Highly recommended. 5 stars!!!
