This has to be one of the most amazing and unique places I've ever stayed in with Airbnb! The house and outdoor kitchen is perfect for the heat in Rio and brought a really nice atmosphere to our stay. The location is perfect - up on the hill and out of the chaos with an exceptional view of Christ the Redeemer, but also only a 10 minute cab ride (there a regular buses too) down in the centre and metro. The property is very well secured and we felt very safe there, if anything more safe than most of the main areas in Rio! On top of all of this Marjon is an exceptional host and provided us with so much helpful information about the city - she lives in the house next door and was always around and happy to help and answer our questions - I feel like I've left there being able to call her a good friend and will definitely be staying here again when I next visit Rio! Thank you so much for having us Marjon!
