Bruna and her sister Amanda are great hosts! The first day I arrived they made me breakfast and we talked as if we had known each other for years. My favorite part was the easy keyless entry that uses a passcode only. This way I never had to worry about losing a key and I felt very independent. They were also well equipped to fight the mosquitoes. My first day, I made the mistake of sleeping with the window open and woke up covered in bites! I told Amanda and she gave me a plug-in repellent. It intermediately resolved the issue. Their small dog Trixie is very loving, we spoke English often (yes the dog and I). Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I feel like I gained new friends who I could hang out with the next time I'm in Rio. Really great energy and I really enjoyed my stay.
