I really enjoyed the time i spend in Rio at Marcia's place. I highly recommend staying with Marcia and her family if you want see Rio!! Marcia and her family are really nice, friendly and warm people! They just give you a feeling like your at home. The house is very beautiful and great, and the spot is perfect. From there it's so easy to travel through Rio because it's so central. I really could tell you a lot but i think you have to see it for yourself. When i go back to Rio in the future i would definitely go back to Marcia !!!
