I had the most amazing few days up in the hills of Santa Teresa. I love this part of Rio but Marjon’s property gave me a new perspective. Every morning I work up and sat on the terrace - the sprawling metropolis in the distance below with Christ the redeemer looking down from above - Muito beleza!!!!!. As the other reviews state - this place is a jungle clad spot of tranquility in one of the world’s maddest cities. I loved it. Also - a huge thank-you to Marjon who was the most amazing host. We went for a few scoops of cold beer up the hill and she told me of her fascinating experiences around the world and of her love of Brazil; something we share. An unforgettable Airbnb & experience.
