I was at Paulo's apartment for a week and it was a wonderful stay.

Paulo was very helpful with the booking, very responsive on messages, and always available when I had questions throughout my stay.

The location can't be beat - it's a block from Copacabana beach and a short walk to Ipanema beach. Supermarkets, stores, restaurants, laundry, anything else you may need is right outside. The walk to the subway stop General Osorio is about 8 minutes and the neighborhood felt safe and was crowded throughout the day.

Upon arrival, I met Paulo who extended a very warm welcome, and gave me great tips about the city and places worthy of a visit nearby for day trips. The apartment was spotless clean and exactly as in the photos. The bed is comfortable, the wifi connection fast, and there are two air conditioner units which make the place comfortably cool on the very hot days.

Great experience overall!
