Marcio's studio apartment is in a great location, as Lapa is central, offering the best local nightlife, a bohemian culture, and easy access by bus or metro to the beaches of Copacana and Ipanema (25-30 mins). The room is large, light and offers comfortable double bed, large table, wi-fi, kitchenette, and bathroom. It's a quiet side-street (except at weekends when noise is inevitable) and safe since there are almost always police nearby. Marcio was very helpful in explaining where things are, answering enquiries and was kind and solicitous. For one or two people the studio is just fine, and its location means you'll be able to see a lot in Rio without spending a lot of time travelling. Muito obrigado por tudo, Marcio! Eu espero puder voltar!
