Our experience with Marcia was geat although we never met her. We got in at 1 AM at night and she was able to get us to our destination quickly and make arrangements with the owner. The area was great and the apartment was clean. Leblon is a nice area with shopping and great restaurants right around the corner and a block from the great Leblon/Ipanema beach, New construction for the subway is underway across the street. Would go there again..
