Paulo's place is located in a very convenient and safe neighbourhood. It is within 10min by foot to the botafogo metro and flamengo metro. The neighbourhood is residential and has nice restaurants and cafes around. The botafogo beach is just right next to it and the sugar loaf mountain is within 30min walk by foot. Suggest to take a taxi if you're coming from the airport. Thereafter, it is easy to go around the city anywhere by metro or public buses. The place is very clean and the bed is comfortable. Wifi is very strong and works well. The air con works well too. There are plenty of hangers. Paulo is also very communicative. While I did not manage to meet him, he always replies very quickly and provides very clear instructions and information necessary for our easy check in and check out. Just to manage expectations, the photos look much brighter and more modern than the actual place and the apartment is located within a pretty old building that was undergoing renovation. There is no heater but we do not require it as the weather in Rio is warm. On the overall, I had an enjoyable stay as it is very clean, safe and accessible to everywhere. I would recommend this place!
