We absolutely loved out stay at Marcelo's apartment! The location is amazing, it's easily possible to walk everywhere in the city centre and there are a lot of bus stops nearby. The apartment is very beautiful and has everything you could need.
Marcelo himself is really lovely, we could always contact him when we had any questions or needed help and he provided a lot of useful information about Rio de Janeiro. Could not imagine a better host and would recommend his place to everyone who wants to visit Rio de Janeiro.
