Thiago's place was fantastic, his Mother welcomed us at a place and was our main contact. All the people were very nice. We stayed there during the new years eve and we were offered to join the dinner (for a small, 50BRL contribution) on the terrace for the time of the fireworks. We gladly joined and it was a great decision. There was a lot of very good food, there were people from the whole hostel as well as the family which was really nice. Besides that there is a breakfast served everyday which makes it really worth ! The room is quite small and simple but for a few nights it is everything you need. The location is great and very friendly. Basically everything is fantastic. The only small flaw is a wifi connection which seems to be quite weak so if you need to work or something that might be something to keep in mind. Overall, a really great experience and we'll definitely be back as soon as possible !
