It was a stay beyond great of almost 5 months with Selma, Marcelo and Rogerio. I was here as a student a the university and needed a base near from the center ans bus station. Selma is very generous as well in his cooking as in life. The flat is really nice and reflect the artistic personnality of the hosts with a lot of paints of Rogerio and nice furnitures. Curitiba is a very big city but in this neighborhood, you felt in a popular and artistic district where people knows each others. If you love the noble art of the conversation, Rogerio will be happy to offer tout somes juicy stories on his dense life or on the Brasil. Marcelo speak a very good english and in a general way, the language is not a problem. Well, I can only encourage you to pass a few days (or few months !) with Selma if you need to go to Curitiba. Marcelo, I let tout translate it for you mom ! (unless Rogerio want to try it, he is better in English than in Frenh ;) ) Muito obrigado para vcs ! Guillaume Dréno
