We loved our stay at Catarina's place. It is super comfortable, and very well equipped, with a full kitchen. The place is beautiful (with original art covering almost every surface), and the location is fantastic. Everything we needed during our stay was close by in the neighborhood, and most of the people on the street were local people going about their day. Catarina was a great host, who took the time to orient us, give us tips and suggestions, and also just chat about life in general. We would definitely recommend staying at her apartment!
