We absolutely loved staying at Valter and Natacha's place!! Valter met us at the apartment (located within an easy walk from the metro, right in the middle of the city, very close to the water) and explained how everything worked. Immediately we were impressed by his genuine kindness and generosity. The apartment was stocked with EVERYTHING we needed. (Even breakfast!! Even spare umbrellas!!) And the space is thoughtfully designed to maximize efficiency and comfort. It's obvious they've lived in and loved the space themselves, which makes all the difference in terms of livability. Plus the apartment is beautiful. The artwork, the furniture, the dishes, everything seemed to be specifically chosen with aesthetics (and function) in mind. It's the perfect starting point to explore an equally beautiful city. Thank you!!
