I stayed 1 month in Rio and i wanted a place i could consider as my home. Marcia's apartment was really the best match. The location is perfect close to the subway in the safe and beachfront neighbourhood of Ipanema. The apartment was in line with everything i saw on the site. The rooftop with the pool was a definite plus when you want to enjoy the sun but has no time to go to the beach or just want to be quiet. The apartment came with daily cleaning (bedsheets change/towel change/garbage/floor) which is amazing especially when you leave some sand behind. So the apartment was always in top notch cleanliness. Marcia was a very comprehensive host and regularly checked on me. She remained available should any problem or question arise. This has so far been my best airbnb experience! So if you are looking for a cool place in the hear of ipanema don't look any further, don't hesitate!
