The place of Marjon is a great refuge in the busy city of Rio. Arriving there gives a feeling of being in the forest but with beautiful view on hillside houses and of course Christ the Redeemer. Also the monkeys that come and say hello in the morning add to the jungle feel. Don’t leave any fruits out on the terrace though… the monkeys will grab those.

On both the floors of the little house you can relax and chill out with amazing views.

Marjon is the most generous host, with an intimate knowledge of Rio and actually Brazil and whole Latin America. We had great and inspiring talks with her about Brazilian culture.

Santa Teresa and downtown Rio are a quick and easy bus ride away. We advice you to take these buses a lot. It is safe and since you travel with all the locals it makes you feel less of a tourist. Taxis are very easy to find everywhere and also make the trip easy and comfortable.

We would advice anyone warmly to stay at this amazing place, we had a great time.
