Overall, this is one of the coolest places I’ve stayed.
The good:
- location! safe, close to everything (groceries, police station, restaurants, the beach, hiking, nice cafes)
- the view is awesome of the river and palm trees
- the river is fun to swim in!
- the back porch is a beautiful place to hang out
- the bed is comfy
- Gui, his mom (Margaret), Sao Bento, and Maria are all kind and generous people who truly care for us!
The hard:
- the internet is fast but inconsistent. It would go out for a few minutes now and then.
- the water would run out sometimes for a day or two so the shower and toilet wouldn’t work. They were pretty good at fixing this promptly.
- Maria and Sao Bento don’t speak to English, so it can be hard to ask for help in the kitchen or with logistical things.
- there are lots of mosquitos in the kitchen, which was hard for *weak* tourists.
Otherwise, it was awesome :) Thank you for having us!!
