I went to Rio with 3 friends to experience New Years in Rio and it was phenomenal. The house is literally across the street from the shared beach with the Sheraton and the views from the house are amazing. Lauren and Adam were both great in helping us to get settled into the space. If you have any issues they are extremely responsive. We had a vacation that is impossible to explain in words...it was simply AMAZING!!!!

As for Jake, he met us in Salvador and he is truly the best host in the entire world. He has a very unique quality about him which enables him to immerse himself in the Bahian culture, while at the same time making all of his guests feel like they are part of his journey. I could not have asked for a more dynamic experience. We are definitely coming back to Brazil again next year and the only place to stay is with Jake. He made this a truly memorable experience.
