Mércia place is great, right in the middle between Copacabana and Ipanema - two of the most popular beaches in Rio that you can visit by 8-10 minutes of pleasant walk. The doorman’s are also 24hrs there to open the gate for you. Mércia is pretty flexible with check in and check out, which is truly appreciated (and what is basically impossible to get in a hotel in Rio). She is always available and reply to the messages super quickly. I’d recommend this place specially for whom is looking for a place where you can cook, do some laundry and relax - it’s fully equipped. The apartments has air conditioning is every room which is a must in a warm season in Rio, believe me. Thanks for welcoming us, Mércia!
