We stayed at Marcella's for 3 nights. Great location, just 2 blocks back from Ipanema beach and in a really safe neighbourhood. Also only a 10 minute walk to the lagoon.The flat itself is compact but has everything you need and really you're not going to be spending much time here with Rio outside!
Marcela was lovely and couldn't have been more accommodating. We stayed an extra night and checked out late, all no problems.
One point to be aware of. This is one of a number of properties Marcella airbnb's and it's not lived in. Consequently you don't get the same experience as when staying in someone's home. However it's a small quibble
Overall a really positive Airbnb experience. Thanks Marcella!
