We spent a week in Paulo’s apartment and had a wonderful time. Paulo is an excellent host - very friendly, helpful and responsive. The apartment is right by the metro station so a great location if you want to use public transportation to get around town or take the train for day trips out of the city. There are good cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby, too. The big attractions are a 20-45 minute walk (easy to do but by the end of the week, we were pretty worn out!).
The apartment is roomy, clean, and comfortable and worked well for our group of 8. The mattresses were very firm (too firm for my taste) but fine for a few nights. We were not able to use both showers at the same time because the water would run cold when running simultaneously. However, using the showers one after the other, there was plenty of hot water. I’m assuming it was a tankless water heater - either way, we were grateful that everyone could enjoy a hot shower! We have not been that lucky at other ABNBs.
Would recommend the place to others, just wanted to share the pros and cons.
