Marcos place its excellent if you are looking for a small place to stay in Rio but with magnificent views and close to the metro and land marks such as the Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema. The apartment building is secured and the access is controlled. There’s a supermarket and a pharmacy right downstairs next to the building.
The host was very flexible and attentive. Always available for anything and checking with you to see if everything is going well. The host even had an outlet converter from US to BR available in case you didn’t have one! If you don’t like to be in the very busy Copacabana area but close enough to get there (with just one metro stop away) book this place!
