This was such a great place to call home during our 3 days in Rio. The location is incredible, merely two blocks from beautiful Ipanema Beach. We felt safe and quickly felt at home surrounded by great cafes and bars. The apartment itself is comfortable for 2-3 people with a very comfortable bed, AC, and kitchen. We were a little disappointed that the washer didn’t work since we were hoping to be able to do laundry during our stay, but nothing that the rest of the apartment and value it provides could not make up. 100% recommend staying at Marcio’s Ipanema apartment.
