Mr and Mrs Muresanu were absolutely wonderful hosts ! As they welcomed me to their charming, architectural masterpiece, I felt like I had entered a time capsule and was revisiting my favorite childhood memories of my grandmother's home in Suriname . Their mini oasis is a sight to behold as well , especially considering it is frequented by monkeys and hummingbirds ! My terrific hosts took me on a lovely tour to a look-out of Rio , a grocery store , and a local artist's venue . They also treated me to my favorite food - mangoes , as well as other refreshments ! I highly recommend staying with Mr and Mrs Muresanu ! I feel so fortunate to have experienced Rio with such a magnificent pair !
