This apartment is ideal for a single person or couple who want to spend a few weeks in Rio. It is very comfortably furnished, and if your business takes you to more than one location in the area, very well located. The nearby metro exit made it easy to get to both Copacabana and the UFF in Niteroi. The view from the balcony is also very nice, looking over the bay.

The part of Botofogo it is located in felt very safe to me, and I felt no anxiety walking the streets at night.

The modern washing machine was much appreciated as was the excellent Wi-Fi system in the apartment.

Some people might find the noise of the traffic off-putting at first, but after a couple of days it subsides into the background.

The best feature of the apartment was the very kind and gracious land lady. I arrived very late the first night, but she was there to meet me, to make sure I settled in. She also made sure that there was food for breakfast in the fridge. She also arranged a cleaning person at no extra charge, and was very attentive to small problems I had in the building. Her English was excellent.

I would be happy to stay here again.
