Marcia’s place is exactly as the pictures show. It is comfortable, well located, secure and has a twenty four hour nice door man.
We stayed there during Carnaval week. The apartment is in the back of the building which is a plus because we didn’t hear the street noise.
It is two blocks from Copacabana beach and two blocks from the well known Ipanema Beach where the Girl from Ipanema song was written. On both beaches you find many bars on the sidewalk and on the sand where you can rent chairs and beach umbrellas to enjoy the Carioca life.
Supermarket is a block away and many good restaurants are close by. TT burger just next door to the apartment and Bibi sucos for breakfast were my favorite.
The close metro station is General Osório, which is a fifteen minutes walk.
I would stay there again.
