Roberta’s place is in the heart of Catete, less than a block from the metro and palace. There are a number of supermarkets and restaurants on Rua Catete as well for all of your needs.
I spent three weeks in Roberta’s apartment and would have loved to spend more time there! It’s a one bedroom apartment with plenty of space for two people. The kitchen is small and I would’ve liked a bigger space to prepare meals but it is fine for short term rentals. The washer/dryer combo was a great extra that usually isn’t available in Rio.
The place was super clean and Roberta even bought me bread, cheese, and coffee upon my arrival which was very thoughtful. She was always quick to respond to my multiple requests.
Definitely recommended and can’t wait to stay here again! Muito obrigado de novo, Roberta :)
