Guilherme was a great host, communicating frequently about our reservation, meeting me on my terms for check in, and making check out easy. Although we were sharing the apartment with him, we were rarely there at the same time, so it felt a little less like shared space. The apartment was exactly as-advertised with an incredible location 2 minutes to the beach and 4 minutes to the metro. The only thing to be aware of is the "window" in the bedroom is more of a sliding screen with a loosely-fit piece of glass over it. If you sleep lightly or if you visit during torrential downpours, this is probably something to keep in mind.
