Marcia's place is cozy and very convenient for visiting Rio. It is just few minutes walk away from Copacabana and Leme beaches, and nearby a metro station. there are also several supermarkets within short distance.
The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped. Marcia was a great host, always responsive and providing some local recommendations for celebrating carnival. People with light sleep should be aware that it's relatively noisy at night due to the outside street noise, but it didn't bother us
