Carmen and Fernando were the greatest hosts. Giving the perfect balance of inclusiveness and privacy. As soon as we arrived at their beautifully stylish house we were offered a delicious feijoada and drinks. When we asked about local attractions they promptly invited us to join them to go see the pre-carnival celebration parades at the lambada school with friends. As our flight home wasn't until the late evening, they let us stay in the room until it was time for our taxi. Such generous and interesting people. So easy to deal with. I would definitely jump at the chance to stay with them again.
