My colleague and I spent 4 nights in this little cozy apartment at Catete area. the neighbourhood is rather quiet, yet convenient, near to Catete metro, markets, restaurants and laundry. The location is adjacent to Flamengo beach and nearby lapa, where the nightlife events is, it takes only 10 minutes by taxi after a crazy night. Gayatri, our host, is a helpful lady. She speaks well English, brought us to the bus terminal on the first day and fed us information whenever we need help. The apartment is small, but comfortable, clean and safe. Fruits, bread and metro card were served when we were there.
