We didn’t met Marilene personaly but we were in touch with her friend Anna. She was very helpful, answers quickly to all our questions, give us tips and was available at anytime for anything.
The apartment is 2 blocks away from the awesome beach of Copacabana, so it's well located. It's safe, guarded 24/7 and clean. It looks like pictures, no surprises. It's also near metro, buses and taxis. A perfect neighborhood for restaurants and cafes.
We had a small issue with hot water, but Anna fixed it in no time.
We had a awesome and great stay here ! Do not hesitate to go and visit that place. We'll come back ASAP !
