This Airbnb was exactly what I was looking for. I stayed for approximately 45 days, some of my considerations when booking were, a clean place in a safe neighborhood, a place where I could work and relax, and a place that had restaurants and bars within walking distance. Katia's place met and exceeded all my criteria; the cherry on top was the balcony with the view of Christ, not to mention the furnishings which are imported and comfortable. Katia is a great and a caring host, when I had questions or needed anything, she was very responsive and offered recommendations. She even asked me for suggestions for improvements when I checked out. Botafogo is a great neighborhood, I enjoyed it more that Ipanema and Copacabana, both of which I've stayed at previously. When I come back to Rio, I will definitely request her to let me stay at her place again. Loved it!
