Virginia and Thomas are truly incredible hosts! Virginia was warm and welcoming upon arrival even helped us secure transport to and from the airport. She and Thomas were very helpful and communicative throughout the experience, giving us pointers and recommendations. Thomas took us himself on the Dois Irmaos hike which was the highlight of our trip. He was very fun and even taught us a little bit about Brazilian culture/history. The apartment is exactly as seen and described in the photos. It is very comfortable. We never used the ac, just opened the window and used the fan and it was cool within minutes. The location is great, walking distance to 3 beaches and a transportation hub. Plenty of food within the block radius.
