Meet Marcia
Laid Back, Helpful, Friendly
Meu apartamento é duplex e eu ocupo o segundo andar, onde fico o maior tempo possível. Meus hóspedes têm muita liberdade e privacidade, pois ficam no andar de baixo.
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I can answer questions but let my guests do their own thing.

Fantastic experience! Marcia is very helpful and flexible! From the moment I got to rio to the day I left, she was welcoming and made my living experience enjoyable. I feel as if I have another family member! Highly recommend!

I loved having Zachary in my house. I won one more son! It was 6 months of exchange of experiences and harmony. Zach is a very educated young man and focused on his goals. I hope he is very happy, because he deserves all the best in life. Thank you for everything!
