Elisa was a great host for us. On the first day she welcomed us with music and food! She was also eager to give us guidance and tips through our journey in Rio. She is a very happy person and makes her best to try to connect with you even if she doesn't speaks your language. Her sense of humor and kindness definetely made our stay more enjoyable, I can say she made us feel like being at home!

About the apartment itself, it is just as described. The nature on your background was a plus while sleeping or just passing the day by. Since Elisa lives in it when it is not rented, the apartment has all the necessary services and items you may need to bath/cook/wash or whatever else you need.

The location is a very safe one. The building has a doorman, so whenever we left the apartment, we didn't have to care about our stuff in it. Also it is on a secluded neighborhood (with a gate on the entrance). This was a plus since we were away from the main street noise, but close enough to walk to it to get a cab.

I would totally recommend Elisa and her apartment. If I ever have a chance to come back to Rio I will definetely consider the apartment for my stay. And if it is not available, at least I would contact Elisa to get a coffee or grab a bite since she was so good to us.

Obrigado Elisa!
