My wife and I were very fortunate to be Paulo's first guests. He is very warm and friendly person with a wonderful personality. He walked us around his neighborhood in Astoria, so we would be comfortable with the neighborhood. He went above and beyond our expectations in making us feel comfortable. He is a fantastic host and a joy to be around and it was really nice learning about his native Brazil. He was constantly considering us and ensuring we were comfortable. We had great communication with each other and we got along with him so well that we went out for drinks together. His entire place is nicely decorated and clean, and a short distance to Manhattan. We stayed with him for 7 nights and I highly recommend anyone to stay at Paulo's place. He is a wonderful person and meeting him was one of the highlights of our trip!! Thank You, Paulo!!!
