This was my first time in Rio and I was traveling alone. I had a Hiking accident and had to visit the hospital as soon as I arrived in rio. I was very scared and upset and I was lucky to have a caring Airbnb hostess as Marcia who directed me to a good hospital and checked up on me during my whole stay. That means a lot to me and I am grateful. The apt is within blocks of the beach and very clean. Highly recommend. Marcia cares about her guests and will help them anyway she can.
