In one sentence: the nicest and kindest people in Rio. Affonso and Cristina are caring, kind, always helping with everything I needed. They're from Rio and know the city perfectly, and they're always sharing information about Brazilian culture and the culture from Rio. They're both very talented professional musicians, and since I'm a musician too, our conversations about music were gold to me. They're very very nice to chat with. The apartment is big, bright, super clean, very comfortable, with a great view over Pão de Açucar and the bay. The area is great, lots of artists and musicians, bars and restaurants. Thanks, thanks, thanks so much Affonsinhõ and Cristina :)
