Elizabeth was a great host! She and her friend Mario gave us a lot of tips for our stay in Rio, made reservations for us and showed us the bus station when we went to Corcovado. The location of the apartment is just perfect - 1 minute walk to copacabana beach and 5 minutes to ipanema beach. The room was really nice and spacious. Every morning we got a delicious breakfast with fresh juice, fruits, cake, bread.....Mario and Elizabeth also offered us dinner. Elizabeth is a very pleasant person and she made us feel like at home. We also went to a bossa nova show together - that was great. We hope to see her again and the next time in Rio we definitively want to stay in her apartment again. We can recommend it to everyone!
