Paulo's apartment is exactly as it looks in his photos. It is very clean, modern and cozy. We especially enjoyed listening to his wonderful music/lp collection. We had a car for our first couple of days and having the garage was especially helpful. Supermarket right around the corner and it was wonderful and easy 10 minute walk to a market with tons of restaurant choices. Almost right outside the door is the 28E Trolley stop which made sightseeing a breeze.
