We had a fantastic time in Rio in large part because of the wonderful home we stayed in. Our hosts, Elaine and Janaina were friendly, warm and very accommodating. They allowed us to check in early and check out a bit late based on our flight schedule. Elaine's home is magnificent with nice views of Copacabana beach, the pictures in the listing are spot on. We would love to stay with Elaine again during our next visit to Rio.
