We spent 2 wonderful weeks at Amauri's place. Amauri and Cris are fantastic hosts, they were always available whenever we needed their advice or assistance.
The place itself is perfect for couples. It's private, great views to Cristo Redentor, Sugarloaf and to Laranjeiras neighbourhood. The pool on top of the balcony is perfect for an early morning splash and late evening cool-down after a long day.
Getting around was easy. As Amauri said "Uber will take you everywhere for 25 Reais".
Overall a very pleasant stay and we'd definitely recommend this if you want to have peaceful place to come to after a long day exploring the city.
