I've had some great hosts on airbnb, but Paulo was the best host I've had to date. When we arrived, he sat down with us at the kitchen table and pulled out a new map of the city and highlighted his recommendations on it. He also asked if we had any questions and even provided us with some answers to questions that other guests had asked that we might find helpful. It was so nice to have local recommendations that were not from a guidebook. He also emailed us a google map with additional recommendations, which we used throughout the city. Paulo made himself very available for recommendations because we asked for them, but also acknowledged that he would get out of our way so we could enjoy our trip. When deciding between this and another airbnb, my concerns about this one were the small bedroom, the hike up the hill, and the location. The hill climb was not nearly as bad as I anticipated from other reviews (though, I was glad to go in with low expectations); we never needed a ride up. The bedroom is much more charming than it appears in the photos (with more light than I expected). And the location was perfect, tucked away on a small side street that made us feel like we lived there, but super close to everything. I wasn't totally 100% on the apartment when we booked it, but ended up being very charmed by it. Lots of light and amazing views. We were very sad to leave this space and hope to return someday.
