Marjon is such a wonderful host, very warm and charming and you can tell she loves her home and making sure her guests enjoy their stay. She made sure we made it to the house easily and offered us beers when we arrived.

The house itself is a pleasure to be in - from the open air kitchen with a gorgeous view of Christ the Redeemer to the master bedroom with floor to ceiling windows and a balcony to enjoy the view.

Just to note - there are two dogs who are very, very sweet but can be occasionally heard barking. The house is a bit remote from the main part of Santa Teresa but that's exactly why we chose it ( you can easily take a bus or cab rides down and up - though getting a cab was sometimes spotty - drivers would refuse ). We also almost missed our flight at 9am because there was a very loud party heard next door that kept us up - but it was a Saturday night (so that was to be expected )

This house is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed in and we will always cherish our experience here.
