I cannot say enough about this place. I have been to Brazil 4 times and this was an authentic Brazil experience, one that is high end at a reasonable price. The decor in Kristies place is awesome .. the colors of the art work and the comfort of the furniture... great. The view is fantastic, I was skeptical from the pictures but the truth is that no photos can do this place justice. But on top of all of this Kristie is just one of the sweetest hosts I could ever imagine. Super responsive and made me feel at home like she was a family member. Thank you Kristie!!
