I had an amazing time staying with Carlos & Beth! They're home is beautiful and they were both such fantastic hosts! Located in a cozy community of Leme and 2 blocks from the beach, I had access to bike rentals, the bus line, local restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and a cafe with delicious food! Carlos was so helpful as soon as I arrived and gave me a tour of the neighborhood and I immediately felt at home and safe. They left chocolates for me daily which was such a nice gesture and any questions I had about the city, Carlos was available to answer. Traveling as a single woman, safety is a priority and I couldn't have felt safer at their home and in Leme. I highly recommend staying here for a stay in Rio, you wont be disappointed!
