Elizabeth created a warm comfortable environment for me to stay in Rio. Her home is conveniently in Leblon across the street from a grocery store. I felt very safe walking in the neighbourhood and it is a close walk to many pubs, restaurants, malls and beaches. Elizabeth took the time to orientate me to the sites of Rio when I first arrived and reduced any fears I had been a single woman travelling in Rio. I had a great visit and would highly recommend her place as your home base.
