I am in love with RIO but also my host Marjon and her home! Marjon is so warm and welcoming and open and receptive to your needs as someone staying in her home but she was so willing to make you feel like a part of her beautiful and colorful family living in Santa Teresa! Her sweet dogs and clever cats make the stay feel like home! The open, outdoor kitchen area is a dream! Stunning views of Cristo as well as the lush rainforest around the property. Everything from the stunning tiles, to the ambient lighting, small subtle touches like eccentric art pieces and found objects. These elements create an environment that allows to look forward to returning home everyday after your adventurous day in Rio! Thank you Marjon for everything! I will be back!
