Diogo was very welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. He responded very quickly with all questions we had before arriving to Rio. When we arrived, he greeted us at the lobby and provided us breakfast while we waited for him to finish cleaning the unit, since we arrived earlier than the check-in time (Thank you Diogo). He gave us nice chocolates as a welcoming token. The place was a very nice modern studio unit. We really enjoyed relaxing on the patio in the morning before starting our day. Throughout our entire stay, we felt Diogo went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He was also responsive with questions we had during our stay in Rio as well.

As for location, the Botafogo neighborhood has more of a real "local" feel then the "touristy" feel of Copacabana. There is a very nice shopping mall that is walking distance, which has an amazing view of Sugarloaf mountain (perfect for selfies), and a more reserved beach. The unit is only one subway ride away from the Copacabana stop. The location is near many pharmacies, and has a great grocery store that is across the street from the main road.

Overall, Diogo is an amazing host!
