Marcia was a fantastic host and the apartment is really lovely. If you decide to stay in Copacabana, this is the place to go. It's about 5 minutes from the beach and 1 minute to the next metro station, which basically takes you everywhere you may possibly want to go in the city. In the apartment, there was nothing missing. Cooking utensils, as well as a washing machine, clothes iron and wifi are all there. Marcia will give you some great insides about the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, she always gives you the necessary space to explore for yourself, too. The area felt pretty safe to walk in even after the sun is down. All in all, I highly recommend this place to anybody staying in Copacabana.
