Marcelo was always on top of everything. He made sure we knew how to get there, what to do and how to reach him. Upon getting to his apartment we immediately noticed that we were in an amazing neighborhood full with security and activities to do. It is only about a block and a half away from the beach. And a block away from the famed Copacabana hotel. The street is continually filled with buses and taxis that can take you anywhere you need to go from 3.40 to 34 reals. The apartment itself was more than perfect. It had everything and anything one needs to live happily. We had no problem and would definitely love to be able to stay here again.
