Martha is a wonderful darling woman! She made my short stay in Rio even better. Yes the room is small... but its so cheap and in a prime location! Like a previous guest stated, its a good place to keep your stuff and rest your head while exploring the beautiful city. Ipanema is an expensive place to stay/live so for about $50 a night, you are getting a good deal.
The apartment is right around the corner from the beach and many shops and restaurants are right outside the front door!
I cannot overstate how wonderful Martha is! She has been a journalist, actress, model and musician in Rio throughout her life. She is so knowledgeable and so helpful! She was very very kind to me and Im happy to say I found a very good friend in Martha. She is also very healthy and if you are lucky, she might just share her delicious green juice with you!
All in all a wonderful place to stay!
