I had a great time during the carneval in Rio at Elisabeth`s Place. The appartment is huge, very comfortable and perfectly located just between Copacabana and Ipanema. The rooms come with AC and american mattresses. The bathroom is equipped with a rainbow shower. In summary, you will enjoy a great european standard, which you might have been missing in Brazil.
Additionally Elizabeth is a great host, she will give you all insider advices you need for Rio and makes the best breakfast i had during my brazil trip! Thanks again for that!
