Rosângela is a fabulous host: responsive, courteous and always available to make our stay as wonderful as can be. I’ve stayed at this property twice and will definitely be back next time I’m in Rio. The house has been upgraded with a fantastic pool and even more beautiful landscaping. Most importantly, the location is extremely safe, and close to Rio’s most scenic beaches. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It lives up to its name: a paradise in Rio!
