Mara’s place was in the perfect location, minutes from the beach and in between Ipanema and Copacabana. The location of the apartment gives you the best of both options to explore.
The apartment is secure and in a safe community. If you plan to sleep in, I recommend bringing earplugs since because of the various noises from neighbors which is completely out of Mara’s control. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Mara’s.
