Elizabeth is lovely, she was like our Brazilian mum and welcomed us into her home with her cute dog Snoopy. She gave us such helpful and detailed advice about how to get around and her recommendations for the city, from the best local feijoada and the best way to get to the Corcovado, to a fantastic samba bar in Lapa which was a highlight of our trip. The room and ensuite bathroom was spotlessly clean, cosy, and amply fitted the 2 of us for 3 days. The apartment is in a very safe part of town with 24 hour concierge. There are several lovely bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk. Thanks so much Elizabeth for being a wonderful host, we hope to see you again soon!
