Clarice's house is ideally located in the Botafogo neighborhood, which is safe and central to many attractions. It overlooks Sugarloaf Mountain and is directly across the street from the beach. The place is positively adorable; cheerful and artistic. Clarice was a warm and lovely host. She greeted us with a cup of coconut water after a long night of traveling and made us feel secure and welcome throughout our stay. This was the perfect choice for my first trip to Rio.
