Guilherme is an awesome host. He arranged to have a driver pick me up from the airport which was very convenient. He took time to give me a thorough orientation of his apartment. His apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. He had US power outlets which was great. He also had plenty of bottled water in the fridge. The apartment was in a perfect location in Ipanema. The area has plenty of stores & restaurants. My bags were delayed for 4 days but i was able to shop in the area with out any problems.
