Marcus and his wife were very kind and quick to respond! They provided all the information we needed in order to have a wonderful stay. This location is INCREDIBLE - a five minute walk to Copacabana Beach and a five minute walk to Ipanema beach. The apartment is pretty spacious and having the doorman there to let us in, give us the key, and hold our bags was very convenient. Our only complaints are that the air conditioner doesn't really reach past the bedroom, so if someone is sleeping on the couch in the living room it might be warm! Also the shower pressure was quite low, which was a challenge for my very long, very thick hair.
