Neusa Maria and her family (including their dog) were the most warm and welcoming hosts, ensuring we had a safe trip in from the airport, were comfortable in the neighborhood, and able to get around safely. It was like being accepted into their family. They responded the requests for assistance with things as promptly as possible. They even made special arrangements for an older member of our Olympic sailing team that preferred a private room, taking another member of our team into their own part of the house so that he could be happy, which was above and beyond our expectations. The neighborhood was safer than expected, cars stopping for pedestrians and making way for the disabled, which was not the case in the area nearby where we were training. We will especially remember this family for the serenade they gave us - playing guitar and singing for us.
