Natache made sure the house was just as it looks in the photos. She left the keys with the doorman, which was convenient for us, because it gave us flexibility as to when to turn up (which given the traffic that day, was great). The house was lovely, and the air conditioning was much appreciated. The flat is near to lots of good things to do, and you can take a walk along to the Praia Vermelha, and up to a small viewing point very nearby. It is also near the major attractions of Botafogo. It was just right for us. Thanks Natache.
