This place was perfect for our Ipanema stay during World Cup and we would gladly return. Marcia is incredibly thoughtful, warm, and wonderful and it truly felt like coming home every time. The location really makes it easy to enjoy Ipanema being a block from the beach, yards from one of the best restaurants (Zaza's Bistro) and having many great shops, bars, and restaurants within easy walking distance. The place is also large and well stocked and has a beautiful garden. The area is also very safe. We are very thankful for meeting Marcia and enjoying this gem!
