Sonia has been a sweet and welcoming host! She truly cares about her guests and is flexible which is a great thing when you are traveling. She was a true friend in a new city, when I didn't speak the language and was new to Brazil. Her home is cozy and the room was a perfect retreat from the bustle of the city. Plus this location is super accessible to a metro stop so it is very convenient to get around. I know I'll be coming back to stay with Sonia if I'm ever in Rio again.
