Overall we had a great stay at Paulo’s place! The location and views were just excellent. Very centric, close to many convenience and commercial stores, metro stations, and of course, the beach :) The front desk staff was always very helpful, specially Francisco, despite some language barriers. We could communicate somehow and they helped us with all inquiries and needs.
All beds were very comfortable and we slept very well since day one. The daily cleaning services was very good and although the rooftop restaurant was closed for renovation, we could find several options to eat around the area. It’s Ipanema!
Filtered water was a great thing to have at the apartment. The kitchen appliances worked very well. A/Cs all worked well too and hot water in the showers, flawless.
We did have a few issues with the Internet connectivity that were not critical, but could be fixed by getting a new WiFi equipment configuration plus checking with the Internet vendor. They were not outages but intermittent disconnections every now and then.
The place only has a washer machine, and not a dryer. We could hang the clothes and with the wind and sun we resolved this. Nevertheless a dryer machine (or a washer/dryer combo) would make the experience even better.
Beyond these two things, which do not change my 5-star rating necessarily, the experience was superb. We would love to stay here again in a future visit to Rio!
