Marcia was a great host, she was always quick to respond via whatsapp to any question that we may of had. She was very friendly & very patient with my lack of Portuguese.
The studio apartment itself was clean, comfortable with a strong wifi single (important for most people) the small kitchenette enabled you to enjoy a cooked meal and escape the world outside.
The location of the apartment is great, Lapa has great nightlife, with many bars and samba clubs in walking distance, but this does mean it is loud at the weekends..
We were warned a couple of times to be safe and watch out for our belongings, but we experienced no problems and felt safe walking around (using common sense)
Copacabana & Ipanema beaches are a short metro or taxi away (30Rs).
I would recommend staying here, great host, great price, great location.
