Paulo was easy to communicate with and available. The space is stylish, modern, clean and welcoming. The bed was comfortable too. What made this place for us was the back patio/ yard and hot tub. We sat around the fire pit on a cold evening with dinner and wine. Then went up to warm up in the private hot tub that has a great view. You can occasionally hear Paulo or his dog from his place, but this was minimal. It just made us worry about being too noisy ourselves when inside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Oh, I left a pair of shoes and Paulo is shipping them back to me. That is a another sign of a good host!
