One word.. Phenomenal!! I had an amazing time at Marjon beautiful beautiful home. She greeted me at the door and provided the best directions to the house by cab. Cab drivers try to rip you know when they know you are foreign. she greeted me with coffee and food on my arrival. The house has everything that you need and MORE!! Wifi was great!!! Air conodtioned rooms. The water pressure was great and had plenty of hot water. I can't imagine staying anywhere else but there. The area is safe and beautiful. The bus stops right in front of the house. (It doesn't get better than that). Not to mention the wonderful restaurant (Cardapio) which is a 10 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride. And, yes bikes are available that you can use to tour the neighborhood. Like I said before the house has everything and more. 10 minute ride to the statute. You have a breathtaking view of the statute right from your bedroom. This is the perfect place to come kick back, relax and enjoy Santa Teresa. If you are looking to party... There is a club right across the street in the hills. Yes,RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!! The neighborhood is very antique and holds much history. There are probably many places you can stay but passing this offer is a mistake. Staying with Marjon you are in the heart of the culture and can imbibe the true essence of your vacation. Marjon was great to me and I know she will be great to you. when you're there, her home is your home. Excellent hospitality!!!!!
