I felt more like a visiting family member than a guest and I am so grateful to have found Marta’s place. It is very conveniently located to Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach, and very close to many shops, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, supermarkets, entertainment, and public transportation. The surrounding neighborhood feels very tourist-friendly and safe. The space is very bright, comfortable, and tidy. I had all of the amenities I needed for a several-week stay. I have never had a better host than Marta - she was extraordinarily helpful and very proactive with communication. Highly recommend!
