Elisa and her daughter Julia have been wonderful hosts, really warm, welcoming and helpful. AirBNB for them is not just a business, they clearly love receiving visitors in their home - their welcome is wonderfully authentic.

Furthermore, I sent out inquiries to practically every AirBNB listing in my budget range - probably at least 30 inquiries. I'd say, only 5 people even responded - which is a problem you will run into in Brazil - poor or slow response rate, combined with vital questions clearly indicated in a numbered list totally ignored.

Elisa was uber communicative, responded quickly, answered all my questions. Her daughter Julia even called their ISP to inquire if a faster service was available. They are truly excellent hosts.
