Staying with Louri and his partner Renato was a real treat. They are true gentlemen... both are kind, thoughtful, resourceful, multi-faceted and very fun loving. They are transforming their sixties-style building in the heart of one of Rio's most vibrant locations is just three blocks from the beach. The moment you step out of their home, you have access to all the conveniences Rio has to offer... from local produce markets and acai juice bars to landmark restaurants and hotels along the Riviera.

If you have time to stop by in Rio, take a look at what these guys are doing. They transforming the neighborhood in a unique and special way.
