Amazing hosts! Ivanice, Roberto, Monica and the rest of the wonderful family took real good care of us. They even drove us to the Pedra Bonita trail, showed us around, gave lots of tips and were there all the time for us. The house is located in the Tijuca forest, very peaceful. We felt safe there. Uber was always available and the prices are quite good, so no issues getting to Rio downtown and to/from the airport. There are also public buses very close. This is definitely place to enjoy Tijuca forest and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended!
