My husband and I absolutely loved Elizabeth's apartment. The location is perfect. It's literally steps from Ipanema Beach. I truly enjoyed our early morning walks along the beach. In the evenings we could watch the sunset on the beach while enjoying a caipirinha, an ice cold beer, or a freshly made juice. You can easily and quickly walk to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and bakeries. Elizabeth is a sweetheart and immediately made sure to let us know that she would be available if we needed anything. The apartment had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and I will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Rio!
