Marcia's apartment was not only in a great location, it was in a superb location, right next to the great night life in Lapa, close to the Metro and the new VLT tram line, very accessible by foot or bus. And given this is Rio, in a very safe location. Marcia herself was prompt and easy to communicate with. And incredibly helpful. If you're thinking of visiting Rio, and want to be in the heart of things in this nice, cozy and comfortable studio, then look no further! And enjoy the great city of Rio!
