Natascha was a great host. Our flight coming in from Ilheus was delayed, her aunt and her were kind enough to wait for us until we arrived. Natascha and her aunt made sure we were comfortable before they left. She also left us with tons of information on how to get around Rio and cool places to check out. They introduced us to the front gate security guard to make sure we have no problems getting in. We felt really safe there. Her place was beautifully decorated, bright and clean. Perfectly sized for our stay there. The internet was excellent and the shower was nice and hot which I really appreciated. The location was close to everything we needed like restaurants, laundromats and bus stations which gave us access to the rest of the city. It was really close to the famous Arcos da Lapa where the night life is vibrant especially on weekends. I would definitely recommend a stay at Natascha's beautiful Lapa Apt.
