Paulo’s studio is in a fabulous location. Very close to tourist attractions and shopping. There are 75 stairs to the apartment though but that didn’t bother us. Paulo helped with our luggage and also offered to help with it at the end of our stay. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is good but as someone else mentioned, you need to be extremely careful. If you knock the handle you can scald yourself as the water is extremely hot. There is an air conditioner which was fabulous and almost unheard of in Europe. There are no supplies here but the supermarket is about a 5 minute walk away. A coffee machine would have been nice but in having said that you have a street full of coffee at your doorstep. We would definitely recommend Paulo’s studio to family and friends.
