After a stressful period of hardwork and uncertainty, Marcela's house was a place of calm providing a chance to heal and repair. At her place we had the best sleep in months: you can hear the sound of the Carioca river at night and be delighted by the smell of jazmin flowers. I'm just sorry about leaving...

Marcela was very kind, she made us feel at home. We used the bikes and it was very useful to visit Rio. The location appears to be far, but it is actually in one of the best neighborhoods and you have access to different touristic areas and you are close to the nature.
