Staying at Klaudinha’s place was, in my opinion, a very authentic experience. Very good location close to everything and public transit, and in a nice neighborhood. Klaudinha herself is also a nice person and responds quickly to concerns. There were a few times that we had trouble with the locks on the room, which was the worst part of the stay. The apartment itself is well decorated and comfortable. It’s not the same as a hotel stay, but I say that in a good way as our stay was unique and I feel our place and host were full of character.
