I sincerely enjoyed my stay at Mario's place.
The apartment is perfectly located in Copacabana and close to Ipanema, is a short walk from the beach, has a great patio where I have worked (yes I worked in Rio..) and relaxed.

Mario is an excellent host. He is sensitive to your needs, always happy to advise you, and leaves you in peace if you prefer privacy. To give you a sense of his service mindedness; he loaned me an old monitor which I hooked up to my laptop so I could work outside on the patio (my screen was not good and big enough for the bright Rio sunlight). Also he was happy to advise me a business restaurant, as well as where the private nightlife is happening.

And last but not least; The bed is great, the internet is fast and reliable (important for my work), and I quickly felt at home in the room (I had the large one of the two, for the record).

I wholeheartedly recommend Mario!

Regards,
Paul
