Our stay at Isa´s and Paolo´s place was superb! Our bedroom and bathroom were very clean, nicely decorated, well illuminated and ventilated. The house is very well located, since it is walking distance from Lapa, downtown, metro and tons of bus lines. Starting the day with a delicious and very complete breakfast was great. But the true highlight was Isa and Paolo themselves. We had tons of logistic questions since we wanted to go shopping, surfing, museums, samba rehearsals, Corcovado, eating authentic Brazilian food, etc. etc… and they happily took the time to give us VERY complete directions and tips for all of them. But not only that, it was great to learn from them about the carioca customs, history and culture. We can definitely say that our trip to Rio was multiplied by our hosts.
