It was with great pleasure that I spend time at Roon Ocean View in Leme. Gilcélia is a gracious host and a sweet lady. She will go out of her way to accommodate you and help make your stay wonderful!

The morning after I arrived Gilcélia, her daughter and some friends took me further "up the hill" to show me breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro.

The "bedroom" is in fact is a separate apartment, the privacy of which I really liked. Not only does it have an ocean view, you can actually hear the ocean from inside the apartment.

Some Brazilian friends were worried about the neighborhood, but it seemed totally safe and friendly to me. In the course of my time spent there I have really come to like the area.

It is only later that I realized that English (which is listed in Gilcélia's profile) is only "spoken" through GoogleTranslate. It all worked out great.
