Marcos was great! He was there to greet me when I first arrived and he was the most gracious! It was unfortunate that I had to leave early due to a family emergency. But Marcos and his place were great. It was walking distance to everything you would want. I really liked the park that was right in front of his house. Next time I'm in Brazil, I am staying with him. Oh, and let me not forget the doorman! He was always there ready to help with my bags and would help me get a taxi.
