The house was fabulous. You ascend up a mountainside into a gated community, so feel safe. Then you enter a locked gate into a landscape comprised of 5 houses of which this is the second. You then descend 2 stories by elevator to the courtyard and then enter the house. Upon entering you see the living room and it's breathtaking views. The house is a little older but has modern touches in the kitchen and the bathrooms. It's spotless and the real story as people have mentioned are the breathtaking views. Keep in mind because of the location the winds can be strong but that can be adjusted by closing the sliding doors. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle I can think of no better place. Paulo was a wonderful host and Jose (who works on the grounds but is low key) was always so very helpful. When you arrive you may immediately want to stock up on some essentials--the supermarket (Zona Sul) is only about a mile away ($2-3 Uber ride; the drivers came quicker than I thought too). All in all just a wonderful stay.
