Less than 24 hours ago I was still in Marcia's beautiful oasis in Ipanema. If you see this property available, make sure you rent it! It is really a superior option in an area of high-rises and rooms without personality. Marcia's place is everything you would want - steps from the famed sands of Ipanema, the restaurants and nightlife, as well as this wonderland oasis tucked away with its own lush garden. The apartment itself is perfect and charming. I was just alone, but two people would really enjoy this. I didn't realize it had two full baths! Rio can be hot, and coming home to the ceiling fans and a/c was luxurious. Full kitchen and Marcia makes sure you have everything you need - from snacks to beverages to lots of information and maps of the area. Plus Marcia is charming - a true Carioca spirit! She made my trip fantastic.
