We absolutely loved this place and Marcia's hospitality. She is a terrific host and we could have not asked for anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. In fact, our flight to Rio was delayed and had to figure out alternatives to check into the apartment. Marcia was not only really helpful but also flexible and accommodating of our needs and request. The place was clean, crisp and super spacious, ideal for the four of us. Closing in to our check-in date, we hardly had any questions as Marcia made sure to share every piece of information with us ahead of time. She even gave us some helpful tips to get around Rio....talk about a personalized concierge. We definitely encourage anyone looking for a place to stay in Rio to consider this apartment and having Marcia as your host. You will not regret it.
