I had a great experience staying at Paula's place! Paula was extremely flexible about check-in/check-out, and made sure I got the keys when I needed them. The place is really cute, was very clean and comfortable. The pictures are accurate, and Paula was totally responsive and accessible. This was my first time in Rio and I really enjoyed the neighborhood-- it's a ten minute walk to the beach, as well as restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Definitely recommend!
