Michelle and her place was everything we needed - from the start we felt taken care of, seen, and welcomed to the core! The location in Botafogo is just superb with many food and drink spots, plus the queer scene in the neighborhood is awesome. The train is a 10-ish minute walk, and Sugarloaf is a nice 20 minute walk. Michelle is a very communicative host and was very generous with her time and home! We felt like we could come and go as we needed, while also having Michelle's support and extensive knowledge and kindness.
