Third time I came to Mario`s place in Rio and for sure not the last time!! It`s great to have a friend you can count on, on the other side of the world. I can only repeat it: excellent location (nearby banks, restaurants, supermarkets), excellent service (clean room, great bed, internet 24h a day, roofterrace outside with a min of noise), excellent host (gives you all the privacy you need + always available to help with golden tips, more up to date then any travelguide). The airconditioning is nice and works pretty well. Here you also have the opportunity to meet other guests from other countries. Also thanks to make a colorcopy of my passport, copy I needed to go out on nightclubs... Till the next time, brother ;-)
