I did not know much about Rio neighborhoods before booking Marcia's place, but it turned out I was lucky to stay in the heart of the old town, close proximity to places I wanted to see. A nice place to return to after a long sightseeing day. The bed is comfy, the kitchen has everything you need to make a basic meal, plenty of space to put your luggage so you can enjoy a clutter-free environment. One thing I need to mention is that the apartment can get very noisy certain nights being in a music performance friendly location with a large stage nearby.
