We stayed at Elizabeth place during carnival time. Choosing to stay at Elizabeth place was best decision we made. She made us feel like visiting friends. Gave valuable tips, helped us get around and helped with practical things (like taking money from ATM, that was actually quite a challenge there in Rio or booking a tour).
Also room was comfortable, breakfast was really tasty (and does not meter weather u wake up at 9 or 12), location- just perfect.
Would advice staying at here place to all my friends!
