I am not sure where to begin. Out of 6 air bnb stays at different places and countries Marjon's is by far the best we have had to date. Likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Starting with outstanding directions both in English and Portuguese for taxi driver to her welcome with a beer and a sit down to show area attractions and how the best way to get to them. Bus numbers etc. To setting up a taxi app to order taxi. Always around to answer questions or share some coffee when we ran out. Simply a very lovely and knowledgeable lady. The flat we had was even much better than we could have imagined. From the spacious kitchen living dining space to the terrace looking up to Christ the Redeemer. We thought when we booked it was kind of remote location but thought last stop on 3 week trip including Amazon so why not. Well it is remote in feel only. Surrounded by Jungle and secluded with Monkeys coming out in mornings to play on top of the trees. Amazing. But it really isn't remote. Regular bus stops out front. All you have to do is wave it down and it stops and Marjon will help you with Bus numbers depending on where you want to go or taxis regular go by or order one on her app. About a 20 minute bus ride to centre of city. Subway is good as well. 7 minute bus ride to small town Largo do Guimaraes which has wonderful cafe's and shops and also has a reasonable grocery store. I am writing this from our terrace before we leave tomorrow and all I can say is I don't want to leave. When we come back we will consider nowhere else to stay in Rio. Thanks Marjon for some wonderful memories. Craig and Diane. Toronto. Canada.
