Marcia's place was great. The location is perfect, right on Lagoa, with easy walking access to both Copacabana and Ipanema. The beds were both comfortable and there was plenty of space for two of us to spread out and have privacy to work. The internet works great for mobile workers. The apartment has literally anything and everything one might need or desire for a long-term stay. We appreciated the day bed that looked out to the trees behind the building for relaxing. Because the apartment faces away from the street it is a nice and quiet, which is not easy to find in Zona Sul. We would recommend Marcia's apartment to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing stay in Rio.
