I stayed with Elizabeth for 8 nights and could not be happier about my choice! As a solo female traveler, I was a little worried about going to Rio alone. Not only is Elizabeth's apartment in the safest part of the city, but it also has a doorman, great security, and is safe to walk around after the sun sets.
I loved being able to come back to the apartment after a long day of exploring and chat and laugh with Elizabeth. She's an incredibly kind and experienced host who has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The bedroom is small but the bed is comfortable, there's a mini fridge, and having a private bathroom is really nice!
There's a big supermarket across the street and you're two blocks from the main street with tons of shopping and restaurants. The beach is super close and you can also walk to the Lagoon.
I promise you'll love your stay with Elizabeth and her adorable dog Snoopy! 😊
