Marclo and Sandra are fantastic hosts. They are thoughtful, kind and very experienced at hosting groups like ours. The apartment is very spacious and clean, perfectly located just 2 blocks from the beach, and very safe. And the art in the apartment is amazing. Marcelo communicated perfectly in English to help us get oriented, and Sandra provided a lovely light breakfast each morning, along with helpful tips as we navigated our first trip to Rio. We also worked remotely during our trip and had strong internet once the router was reset on the first day. In short, my friends and I have a wonderful time, and I couldn't recommend a place more. If you're looking for space, style, location and a solid experience with hosts, this is the spot!
