Staying at Marjon's place was probably the best Part of our stay in Rio. If you are fortunate to catch her when she has some time, you will find her background on Rio, the people, the culture and the challenges to be outstanding! We learned so much from her. The best part in staying at her place is how close it is to downtown yet away from the hustle and bustle so you can actually have a relaxing time away. Just watch out for those darn monkeys, they stole my breakfast bun the second last day of our stay!
