Paulo's home is located in the quaint neighbourhood of Santa Teresa. It's not quite in the heart of Santa Teresa where most of the cafes and restaurants are located, but further up on the hills. But this also means that you get panoramic views of Rio, starting with the Sugar Loaf on the left and the Cristor Redentor on the right, with small communities sprinkled in between. The place was generally clean and well-maintained. Breakfast was included for our stay, with bread, hams, cheese, eggs, fruit salad, yoghurt, and coffee served. Wi-fi signal is serviceable. Adam is usually around to help with any queries about getting around Rio. There is a decent restaurant with a killer view just 30 metres from this home.
