Guilherme is the most amazing host! My brother and I spent 14 nights in his apartment during the World Cup, and it was the best! The location can't be beat -- across the street from a beautiful beach and in the middle of great restaurants and shops. Ipanema is gorgeous and I felt very safe. The building has a 24-hour doorman, and everyone who worked or lived in the building was very friendly. The apartment was spotless, and exactly as pictured. Guilherme was so helpful whenever we needed anything (air mattress, curtain for privacy in bathroom, recommendations, medicine when one of my friends fell ill, etc.). We enjoyed hanging out with him a handful of times, and feel very lucky that we got to meet him and stay in his great place. I can't recommend him/his apartment enough!
