It was great to stay at Mara's place. The condo was very clean and Mara and Alex were very prompt in responding to any questions. The building itself was very secure, with a 24 hour concierge and a locked entry. The location is fantastic- just minutes from the beach and a quick 10 min walk to the metro.
The unit itself has three bathrooms (one full and two halfs) and two bedrooms, which was perfect for 4 of us. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting rio.
