Marcio and his wife were so kind, obliging and thoughtful -- and that thoughtfulness shows up in this apartment. I love the little touches in this apartment: lots of clean sheets and towels, sleek and stylish furnishings, even adaptors and a toothbrush! The view of Sugar Loaf is even better in real life, and the night time view is equally stunning (we kept the shades up almost the entire time). Catete metro is a short ride away, and you're 15-20 minutes from Copacabana via Uber. I really loved coming back to this apartment at the end of a long day. And if you have any issues, Marcio is great at getting back and helping in any way he can.
