I can't say enough nice things about Manuel, Teresa, & family! Manuel was very good about emailing me back right away with information and answers every time I bugged him with questions. Then he graciously offered to pick me up at airport--a luxury for most budget travelers.

I really loved eating dinner with he and Teresa (a wonderful cook!) that evening so we could chat and get to know each other. Their home is lovely: comfortable, modern, great views, super clean - you wouldn't know they have 3 boys! I honestly felt very comfortable. Mostly I enjoyed our chats and getting to know a little about their family. Their place is across the river from the 'centre' but the Metro is a close 10 minute walk & it's nice to see another part of the city. Obrigada!!
