Belo studio in Botafogo is located at this residential district. Not a very tourist spot. Studio is about 5 min walk to Botafogo metro station where you can go north to the centro or go south to the south zone where the famous beaches situated, both within a couple stations and in 20 min. Basic facilities are well maintained. Guide books are provided. A simple decent studio doorman and neighbors are friendly. Most of all , Fabio who speaks English is ready to help. I adjusted my plan and he is quick to response and try every bit to suit my schedule. Good experience like having a friend at the other side of the world.
