My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Margareth's apt for 5 nights. It is in a secure doorman building and we just loved the location as it is an easy walk to Copacabana beach, the Cantagalo metro station and to take the bus. Because of its location, we also enjoyed walking to Ipanema for the beach, the farmers market and the Sunday Hippie fair. There are lots of restaurants in the immediate neighborhood and several stores, including a grocery store and pharmacy. Margareth's apartment is modern and tastefully decorated, and we were very comfortable staying there. Margareth is pleasant and easy to communicate with, and she is also a wonderful host who graciously accommodated our request for a late checkout, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely choose to stay here again should we visit Rio again. Highly recommended!
