Thiago and his family were very accomodating and super friendly and sweet. The neighborhood was very lively and the neighbors were friendly. Thiago lives at the top of a community and I tried the walk at first but for BRL$3 you can't beat a quick 2 minute bike ride compared to a 10-15 minute walk up. The house was more of a hostel like layout with another 2 bedrooms on the same floor but I never felt cramped or overwhelmed. Breakfast was delicious and the mother had a smile that would warm you right up. I would recommend you stay here. I will visit again since a part of me is still left in rio :) thank you for hosting us Thaigo
