I had a wonderful time with Marcio and Claudio. They made me very welcome from the start, right from hugs upon first meeting to caipirinhas on the first (and second) evening. The flat is very attractive and comfortable and the breakfasts are superb. But most of all it is their openness and hospitality that makes them stand apart. It was like staying with good friends, despite only being there for two nights. I was sorry to leave.
