We didn’t get to meet Sandra And Mitch Paternostro but the lovely lady who met us at the home spoke good English she was very helpful and friendly even though she had to wait several hours for us to arrive (big rain storm delayed us) the place was spotless the setting is great and we are a family of 5 our twins are 7 years old we found the walk to the metro no problem Sandra And Mitch Paternostro had purchased food milk and goodies for us because they knew the grocery stores would be closed when we arrived the clothes washer worked great hot water worked there are English DVD movies some for kids books and music CDS big roomy spaces and a sweet porch upstairs it rained a lot so we were inside a lot but had fun
