unfortunately, I had to cancel my upcoming visit to Rio however will based on my previous visit with Guilherme & Karine, I would NOT consider staying anywhere else - they are and will always be my first choice!!! They are the most accommodating and gracious hosts. The apartment is conveniently located, beautiful and functional. I was able to work comfortably every day before heading out for the day's activities. GREAT INTERNET!!!! Guilherme & Karine are wonderful people and FABULOUS hosts. In addition, they were generous w/both the checkin and checkout times. Everything is GREAT about them!!!! i hope to a guest again in the very near future.
