This was my first time in Rio, traveling alone and I'm so thankful I chose to stay with Elisa and Marcelo. They're place felt like a safe haven from the moment I walked in. They made me feel right at home and like I was visiting old friends in the city. Not only are they incredibly kind, they're also super interesting, open and cultured - the conversation was one of the best parts of my stay! I would 100% stay here again next time I'm in Rio: amazing location super close to the beach, beautiful apartment, comfortable room, personalized tips based on what I was looking to do that day and their cute cat Media Luna was a cherry on top. I would recommend their place to anyone visiting Rio looking for a more unique local experience!
