Paulo's place is exceptional. We had the pleasure to stay there for the last three days of our trip. The location is great and less than 2 minutes from Copacabana beach. The apartment is immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. Paulo has put so much love and care into its design. You will not be disappointed. Check-in is simple and the staff are very friendly. My only disappointment is that we had not stayed there on our earlier visit to Rio! Paulo is an amazing host and it was a pleasure to stay there.
