Marcela is a great guest along with her dogs, Elza and Lamp. We were able to also easily accomodate our dogs in the guest house where they were also very welcome throughout the premises. The location is amazing, at a charming Cosme Velho street close to well known tourist locations but yet very calm, relaxing and surrounded by nature. I strongly recommend Marcela’s place for a long vacation or maybe a quick weekend escape to Rio. :)
