I would HIGHLY recommend Renato and Louri to the anyone visiting Rio. I arrived very late on Friday night and hadn't have a chance to change dollars to reales, Even though it was past 1:00AM, Louri told me I could not go to bed on an empty stomach, so he prepared me something to eat and made pleasant conversation. Such a nice, unexpected gesture got my visit off to a great start. As for the accommodations themselves, the room was very clean and comfortable. Louri gave us excellent suggestions for activities when we were not attending our conference. Finally, he arranged for safe, punctual transportation to and from the airport. If I ever go back to Rio, I will definitely call Renato and Lauri first for my lodging needs.
