Marcela is an absolute excellent host. She is prompt, polite and incredibly responsive. The location could not be better, it really is the best in Ipanema! The only advise i would give is (and this may be in a translation issue) that this would be by US standards a studio apartment, not a 1 bedroom (i.e. - there is not a separate bedroom). Otherwise, the description is very accurate. Had a great stay! Thank you!
