Katia’s place is very clean and cosy. I stayed at the apartment for 7 nights during the Carnaval. On arrival she was available to give me a brief tour of the apartment. She had free bottled water in the fridge and some snacks on the table. Katia’s apartment is right in the centre of Copacabana. It is less than 5mins walking distance from Copacabana beach and less than 25mins walking distance from Ipanema beach. Access to banking facilities wasn’t a problem for me with three major banks next to the building. Loads of shops and restaurants in the area.

The building is very safe and secure. I felt safe walking into the property at night. The A/C was in perfect condition, considering the Rio summer temperature. Free wifi and cable TV was also available at the apartment.

Katia also kept in touch with me to ensure that I was having a pleasant time in Rio.

Overall I had a very enjoyable and pleasant experience at Katia’s apartment and I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place in Rio.
