If you are nervous about using airbnb in Rio, please turn to Elisa for her listings! I promise you she will take all anxiety away!
Elisa and Julia are the sweetest and most welcoming hosts I've ever had and I've traveled through North America, Africa and Asia. For example, I had a flight delay and no internet or phone connection so I arrived several hours later than I said I would arrive, but Elisa was more than understanding and she had even checked in to see if I was ok by email in case I had access to internet. The home in Praia in Botafogo is absolutely beautiful and it complements the beautiful personalities of Elisa and Julia!
I highly recommend Elisa! I hope you get to hear Julia's playing of violin too. I was so amazed at her skill and mastery that I could not believe it.
Thank you again Elisa and Julia for making my first day in Rio so perfect that I fell in love with the city immediately.
