We had an awesome experience staying with Elizabeth and recommend her airbnb to those who are looking for a more authentic Rio stay, away from the tourist culture in IPA/copa. We arrived on Friday evening and Elizabeth had whipped us up some pizza, which was super thoughtful. The room was clean and it had a private bathroom. She went above and beyond to give us tips on how to get around and what to do. She's also just a pleasant person to talk too, so it was easy to stay there and fun to getting to know her...and her dog snoopy is so cute! Her apt is in an ideal location close to the beach as well as some great neighborhood bars, restaurants, and lanchonetes. Her English is great so there was also no communication barrier. I recommend this airbnb and I will definitely stay there again.
