I found Natalia's apartment clean and comfy. It is rather small so it is best suited for someone with little luggage. I confess that I travelled to Rio with a lot more than I needed. I noticed that she used the space extremely well, providing a room with a full bed and a work desk in addition to some well-appointed decorations. There is plenty of closet space. It was very easy to get into the apartment with a code and it was a relief not to need a key. The drawback is that it is a narrow street at the end of ipanema near Copacabana and requires a three-block walk to the beach.
