Thanks to the hospitality of Elizabeth(host) and her partner Mario! I have enjoyed this 3 nights stay in Rio which was last stop of my Brazilian journey. The location is perfect. The room was just as described Spacious, Bright &Clean & with private bathroom. A delicious &healthy breakfast magically appeared every morning I woke up. Elizabeth was very gracious and went above and beyond to ensure that I enjoy my stay. One morning, they took out their surf boards in storage and gave me a private paddling lesson on the nearby beach! Nowadays, with increasing commercialization of Airbnb, a very large number of Airbnb listings are no different from regular guesthouse or B&B places. Elizabeth still carry its original vision of its founders back in 2007, to enable guests to experience the city/destination in a more authentic and connected way. I look forward to my next visit to this amazing city.
