Mariana's apartment is an ideal place to stay in Lapa for one or two people. It is clean, quiet, comfortable, well furnished, and feels more spacious than it appears in the photographs, with high ceilings and a good use of available space. There are windows at both ends, which helps with both light and ventilation. Communications with Mariana by text via AirBnB were reliable, she replied promptly to all our queries without being at all intrusive. Warmly recommended!
