We had a great time at Paulo's apartment. The apartment including furniture/kitchen/ bath looked brand new and was very clean. The view is like in the pictures, very beautiful. You get a private parking spot for your car which is very convenient. Check-in was easy and Paulo was friendly and responded quickly. Yes, there are church bells right next to the building which will sound every 15 minutes..they are silent at night though :) There was no washing machine/dryer in the building but in a short distance walk there is a laundromat. All in all recommended!
