Great people, great spot! I was living with Marcia and her husband for a couple of weeks and had a great time. Both of them were always helping me out, giving advise and made me feel super safe and welcome. The area is also recommendable for everyone who wants to get away from the most touristic areas - it is way less loud and hectic, at the same time many nice cafes, bars and shops are located within walking distance. I could never get enough from just chilling in the hammock on the balcony and appreciating this wonderful place, I will come back here whenever I visit Rio again. Thank you very much for everything, Marcia! :)
