Martha's place is exactly as advertised. It is safe, cozy, and relatively easy to access. It has everything you need to survive in a small studio apartment. Martha is an amazing and attentive host and I have no doubt that she would go out of her way to get you anything else you needed. Martha's English is pretty good and she's quite adept at using Google Translate. So communication isn't really a problem even if you don't speak Portuguese. If you're looking for a well-priced place to stay in one of the best neighborhoods in Rio, don't hesitate to book this apartment.
