Our stay with Beth was outstanding! She simply is an amazing host!! Check-in was smooth and easy and once we got to the apartment Beth took so much time to give us local tips and advice about visiting Rio and other places in Brazil. She even gave us a detailed tour of the neighborhood (Leme) and so much advice about good places to eat, supermarkets etc. Leme is very safe, lively and full of restaurants and bars. The apartment is literally 2 min walk from the beach. We loved our stay in Rio and loved staying with Beth. 100% recommended.
