It was great to stay here in Jaline's apartment! The room is spacious, the bed comfy, and the hammock was great to relax in and enjoy the view.
I actually didn't get to meet Jaline (they were away for the weekend and then I usually get going early in the morning) but she was very communicative and helpful via messaging with tips and helpful info. She also left snacks out for me after I had a late night arrival and her cake is amazing! I hope we can meet sometime!
The location is great. As a solo traveller, I found Botofogo very safe and easy to get around. The apartment is only ~5 mins to the subway station (which is surrounded by great street food and lots of restaurants). It's close to Sugarloaf and the beaches so it's great if you like running. Even at late night, I never felt unsafe in the area.
Thank you Jaline and Jorge!
