I really enjoyed my month-long stay with Guilherme and Juliano. My arrival was super easy and Guilherme was responsive with any needs/concerns - laundry, changing the shower head. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, and although the kitchen was minimally stocked, it served its purpose. The apartment is breezy, gets lots of light, and is well decorated. And the dogs are VERY cute, despite the late night conversations they have with each other :) The neighborhood is generally quiet and very beautiful, and I felt very safe during my stay. It's also close to the Catete metro station as well as Flamengo beach, where there are paths to bike/run (and the beach to enjoy!). I interacted mostly with Guilherme but both Guilherme and Juliano were super warm and hospitable. Overall, I would definitely recommend a long stay!!
