Claudia is a great host. Very polite, gentle, caring and easily reachable.
On our arrival, Claudia even offered to take us for a tour of the neighborhood!
The apartment is very clean, cozily decorated and well lit by the natural light that comes from the living room's large window that overlooks the back side of the building. The building itself is situated over a very popular and crowded bar Jobi, but rest assured that the noise from the outside is nonexistent from the inside. The building is safe and you would have to walk through one secured gate and another locked glass door to get into the building..
The apartment is pretty much equipped with everything you can think of and you think you may need.. Claudia is very thoughtful, organized, and ensures that you have everything that you need.. no need to bring power adapters! The apartment has everything.. shampoo, conditioner, soaps for the bath and the hand soap for the kitchen, all there.. even candles! I was truly impressed by her thoughtfulness and the attention to details. The bathroom is large enough with a very handy sink for hand laundering smaller items. It even had the hanging line system attached to the ceiling that can be lowered to hang the washed items. The shower box is large to local standards and it had a shower head with really good water pressure.
The apartment is well located and in the vicinity of good restaurants, bars, bakery, grocery stores, etc.. and within few blocks and walking distance from the beach (closer to Posto 12).
Highly recommend this apartment.. Claudia was even nice to let me check out at a later time!
