We had a lovely stay at Mara’s apartment and we would definitely go back on our next visit!
The exchange of information with Mara before the booking was really easy and fast and as well the check in with Alex.
The apartment is really nice and very well located, close to the beaches (it’s between Copacabana and Ipanema), markets, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.
In general is calm but can get a bit noisy over the weekend (it’s Rio!).
The furniture is nice and comfortable, just the dining area that could have a little upgraded (specially the chairs, one of them was broken). The bed of the main room is very comfortable, it's a big room with storage place.
The apartment has everything you need, we just really missed a washing machine, especially for a longer stay as ours. It would also have deserved a better cleaning before our arrival.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place!
