We stayed for a couple days on this apartment. It has an excellent location on Lapa, just two blocks from the Arcos da Lapa and five blocks to Cinelándia, the Metro station. The place is on the 8th floor of a residential building, and looks exactly like the pictures shown. Everything in the apt. is clean, modern and Marcia has filled the place with Rio guides, travel tips, etc. One little detail is that I missed some more cooking elements, like a pan. But everything else is great.

The neighbourhood has tons of bars and places to eat, specially at night, at the cost of a little noise during the nights but nothing to worry about really :)

Marcia is probably the best host I've ever known. She worried about the time I was coming and how to get to the apartment from the airport or the bus station. At our arrival she received us with an excellent Rosé from Portugal and two pairs of cool slippers! I've never felt so welcome in any of my trips :)

I have no words to recommend enough Marcia's place. Don't hesitate to book it!
