Norma’s place is a great little apartment. There is a small living area and kitchen, a bathroom, and a very spacious bedroom.
It is in a great location, close to shops and metro stations. It is about a 10min walk to Flamengo beach. You can also walk to Botafogo in about 30mins.
It is very easy to get around here with metro stations and bus stops very close by. You can also use Uber which is usually cheap.
The building feels very safe and we felt secure around Catete in the evenings.
We would definitely recommend staying here. Norma was very attentive and easy to contact if we needed her.
