The appartment is really close to a metro station and there's a bus station right in front.
We had to stay in Botafogo because my sister lives there, but turns out Botafogo is a great place to stay in Rio. It's a safe neighborhood in Zona Sul, relatively close to all the interesting stuff in the city.
The appartment has everything you need to be comfortable. We stayed for a week and it was our second home. Very clean and equipped.
I would definately recommend staying here!
