From the moment I booked my stay at Elisa and Marcelo's place they contacted me and offered their support to help me plan my stay in Rio. It was reassuring and I knew I'd made a good choice. In the months leading up to my actual stay I was in regular contact and I felt very welcome when I arrived. They were happy to give their advice on what I should do with my time and how best to get around Rio. The room was big and the bed was comfy.
