Paulo was a great host--the apartment was exactly as stated and Paulo was a very nice host providing help and answering any questions you may have! The kitchen is very well stocked which is great and Paulo even left extra linens and towels which is a great touch.

The location is very nice as it is between the the center of the city and the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana which is perfect for getting to both areas and gives you more flexibility in where to go out. The metro is very close and there are many buses; the taxi rides are also very inexpensive.

We'd recommend Paulo's apartment for a very comfortable stay for a couple! You won't regret it!
