This was my fourth trip to Rio since 2011 - 1 hostel and 3 airbnb's. This was my best trip ever. I like the guesthouse because it is like your own home. The room/bath in which I stayed (#1 - yellow suite) is basic but very functional with a mini-fridge, air conditioning, and a window to the street - which is a little lane perpendicular to the main street, Pompeu Loureiro. Sergio is a great host - funny - and talkative - and we are now, as he said, "friends for life." Next trip I will be back to the guesthouse.
