We had a great stay in Catia and Isaura's apartment. It was very clean and well stocked with amenities (coffee maker, washer, pots/pans, etc.) It is not too far (maybe 10 minutes uphill) from the closest blue line metro stop.

Isaura was very kind and helpful showing us into the apartment, even though she did not speak English (she had a friend with her who translated for us).

It was a bit confusing figuring out which apartment to buzz to get in (hint: Res do chão esquerdo means to buzz R/C).

Overall, very pleasant experience!
