It's not the newest of places, and not the easiest to reach (our taxi driver got lost), nor in the best neighborhood (graffiti), but Alenandre and his wife more than made up for our struggles with their warm hospitality. Recognizing our difficulties, he carried our luggage, showed us everything, found a nice restaurant for dinner, made reservations for us, ordered a taxi for the next morning (who didn't get lost), and really made us feel at home in their home (they live upstairs, but it's quite private). They even called us when it was going to rain and our laundry on the outdoor line might get wet. Their hospitality made up for the difficulties and we are enormously appreciative!
