Great experience! Louri and Renato were great hosts, taking care of everything we needed (a broken shower on the first day) and even our whims (lending us their DVD player).
They were very helpful answering all questions we had and responding promptly to changes that happened in our flights that would impact the transfer from the airport (a courtesy from them).
The location is excellent. Close to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The street is very busy (which made us feel safe), but one must pay attention to the crazy traffic!
