I spent 2 nights in Katia's appartament and it was amazing.. The appartament is well located in a quite quarter of Rio.. The access to the beach is a little bit complicated because you have to cross the lake with a boat but Katia will give you the resident card that allow you this funny trip.. The appartament is clean and well furnished but the best thing is Katia herself.. She is kind, friendly, willing and helpful! One of the best host I ever had!
