We loved our stay at Marcela's Airbnb! After having a busy day out exploring Rio, it was amazing to come back and relax in this secret oasis by the pool. The neighbourhood feels very safe and it was a great location to be based from. The tram for Christ the Redeemer is round the corner, as well as a supermarket and cafe which were very useful. Marcela speaks very good English which was really helpful (English is not as widely spoken in Rio as we thought it would be). Our flight landed much earlier than check-in and Marcela was very accomodating, allowing us to arrive early! Marcela's dogs were so sweet too! The Airbnb includes a little kitchen and lounge area which we found really useful. I would highly recommend a stay at Marcela'a place if you love peace and tranquility, and want to relax surrounded by beautiful trees and the sound of the birds!
