Marcia's place is really nice for the location. General Osorio is the best place to be in Rio and you can get anywhere in a matter of minutes. The beach is a five minute walk, as is the metro, and all of the options for dining close by are delicious. The internet worked really well in the living room, slightly less receptive in bedroom. In general it was an easy place to live.
Cons: The bed in the apartment is not very comfortable and after three months at this location it was tough. Also the water filter could use an update.
Overall, Marcia was a very welcoming host and I enjoyed all the amenities that were offered. She was very friendly and I would recommend the apartment.
