What an amazing place. Firstly, Santa Teresa is a very artsy place with a hippy, liberal feel. Think of old buildings, vegans, yoga, fun little bars and coffee shops, and grafitti art everywhere. Secondly, Ion and Sheila were just amazing - so hospitable. If you are feeling like you need some temporary parents while you are traveling, I'd definitely book this place. Ion gives you a tour around Santa Teresa and takes you to the grogercy store whenever you need it, and Sheila makes the best Caprinha you have ever tasted. Felt very comfortable and at ease. Thank you!
