This apartment is perfect. It's in a great location in Botafogo with the metro and bus stops right next to the building. There are restaurants, shops and supermarkets very close by. The apartment has everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, big clean bathroom and comfy bedrooms. We were met by joelma who was really friendly and showed us round the apartment. We didn't need to contact the host while we were there but communication beforehand and when checking out was excellent. I would highly recommend this apartment if you are traveling to Rio. Great location, great apartment, great hosts.
