Carlos and Beth were very gracious and hospitable. They did everything they could to extend a warm welcome! They were quick on email, provided information to all my questions and were very helpful with everything. The bedroom and bathroom were great and had all the amenities you would expect. Their welcome when I arrived included the phrase 'our home is your home'- and they meant it.

The location of their house was a block and a half away from the beach- a really fantastic location for beach trippers. Access to the other tourist locations in Rio was also easy from their house- either by bus, metro or cab. Copacabana and Ipanema are buzzing with restaurants, cafes and stores which further made this location convenient.

Best thing about the house- all the disco lights that Beth has up- maybe you'll be lucky to be there when they throw a party- the lights would definitely guarantee a good time!

I'd certainly recommend the 'Total Relax' destination if your plans include time at the Copacabana beach.
