    Marcia, met me with the keys. She is warm, super friendly and kind. The property is large, with tons of wonderful light that cascades into the rooms. A small kitchen area with a large fridge, gorgeous lounge area, powerful shower, comfortable bed - but the best part is the spectacular view of Copacabana beach from the bedroom window.

    The building is located right in the heart of Copacabana, just couple of minutes walk to the sea and right next to biking and taxi station. There is 24 hours reception with friendly staff, so picking up the key and leaving the key for a day is great. Apartment is having marvellous sea view. It is clean, spacious and very comfortable for a couple. Big plus is terrace at the top, where you can just hang around and have your breakfast or lunch. The owner of property is communicating and replying fast, explaining questions and helping with any concerns, this way we would love to thank her for making our stay really special, and for all of these reasons we will return.

    A couple of extra towels would be great! That’s it! It’s a fantastic apartment.

    This accommodation is fantastic! Marcia was the kindest host. Even though we didn’t meet, she made sure we were taken care of, and gave us very clear instructions and many recommendations! She helped to accommodate us at every point. Thank you Marcia! The place was large, clean, and in a fantastic location - 2 mins from Copacabana beach, many great restaurants nearby. The bed was comfortable, and the pool is small but warm & clean!

    A lovely, clean apartment with an excellent location and wonderful value for money. Marcia was a fabulous host who arranged everything for us so that getting access to the building was easy. She gave us some wonderful recommendations for things to do in the area and was always on the other end of the phone should we have any problems or questions.

    Everything was perfect! Marcia was an excellent hostess and made me feel right at home for my first visit to Rio! The staff was very friendly and any questions or concerns I had during my trip Marcia answered with the utmost speed and professionalism via whatsapp. The property is conveniently located next to bars, fine dining, shops, all the hotels on Copacabana and tours. Excellent!!

    Marcia, the owner, was unbelievably kind. She communicated well, made sure I was comfortable, offered tourism advice and was the ideal host. The place was located 1 block from the chaotic Copacabana beach, so the perfect location. It was relatively quiet, well decorated and had everything you needed. On the rooftop was a wonderful pool to cool off from the hot weather. The 24 hour reception where you had to leave the keys meant you didn't have to carry them around with you. Staff were always friendly and helpful.

    Everything was beyond my expectations

    This was the first time solo traveling through Brasil and I deeply enjoyed and appreciated the owner. She took time from her schedule to make sure I was enjoying Rio. She gave me tips and tricks for Rio and even invited me to see her friends. She really is one of a kind and in all my stays I've never seen anyone like her. If you need to stay somewhere in Rio, this is the place.

The location is absolutely fantastic with everything on your doorstep. A special thanks to Marcia for her kindness and help throughout our stay.

    The pool on the roof is under renovations, and could not be used - check this in advance.

    Great location, spitting distance from the beach. The apartment is very big and comfortable, and the fact they have a 24-hour reception makes it very comfortable. The host was very nice and communicative. Nice view of the beach from the bedroom window. Great value for money.

    We had the seaview double room which was fantastic. the whole living space - bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen - was perfectly formed. the building is in art deco style and well maintained. the staff on site are very helpful. and security was excellent. Marcia is wonderful from beginning to end. We tend to avoid large impersonal hotels where possible in order to find smaller more interesting gems. This certainly surpassed all expectations.
