Paulo’s place is absolutely gorgeous! The place is just like the pictures and the view from the infinity pool was breathtaking in person! Such a beautiful home and very spacious. I spoke with Paulo to ask questions prior to my arrival and then Fernando the house manager was the main contact person while we were on the property and he was very helpful and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. Definitely recommend going to Supermercado Mundial to pick up groceries snacks or just breakfast to have something to eat while lounging in the house if you aren’t out touring. Uber was easily accessed and affordable to get to major areas of Rio. We did utilize a driving company for airport transfer that Paulo recommended and that Driver Nelson was also very pleasant. My friends and I felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Joa! I would stay here again if I make my way back to Rio! Thank you Paulo and Fernando!
