I am so lucky that this was the first place I stayed abroad. Marcos did his best to help me with my Portuguese even though I was a slow learner, haha. He gave me suggestions for places to hang out. He had a great attitude. He was always willing to help should an issue occur. Relaxed. Efficient. Kind. It's with sincere enthusiasm I would recommend this place to anyone, especially anyone queer, if they find themselves in Rio. Thank you, Marcos! I really enjoyed staying at your place.
