We loved staying at Marta’s apartment during Carnival. It was easy walking distance to different block parties and corner spots. It’s not a far Uber drive to Ipanema and Copacabana. It was simple, clean and in a locked apartment building where you have to be buzzed in. There was some street noise when there were block parties but otherwise was quiet. Marta was very quick to respond to all of our questions. We would definitely recommend her apartment!
