Living with Isa & Paolo is an experience! An experience every newcomer to Rio must have.
Well before leaving for Rio, I had the feeling that coming to their place was a good decision (primarily based on the comments on their listing). And I was right; spending just two nights in their lovely home was the best start to our Brazilian holiday!
In spite of having no formal background whatsoever in hospitality, Isa & Paolo are just amazing hosts: warm, thoughtful and extremely helpful (we not only got a detailed email on directions, but Paolo also sat with me to make a detailed plan for our day out to Centro).
Yes, the house is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. And yes the breakfast is superb (don't miss the coffee!). But I would go back there for the warmth.
Traveller tip: Assuming he's available, insist that Paolo joins you for breakfast. :)
Thank you Isa & Paolo .. hope to come back someday soon!
