We had a wonderful week in Rio and we were lucky that Sergio's place was available. Sergio is an excellent host and both him and his mother are both very warm and welcoming people. The welcoming was nice and Sergio offered us some great advise on Rio which made our stay safe and very enjoyable. I found it very interesting talking to Sergio about life in Brazil and it felt like having a friend there. During our stay we had the whole upper floor to ourselves most of the time but the pool was occasionally shared with the hosts. The room was fine and the outdoor terrace was very nice to soak up some sun and enjoy the views of Cristo Redentor. We would definately stay with Sergio again next time we are in Rio.
