We really enjoyed our time at Vera's place. Her instructions were clear and she was incredibly fast at responding to any of our questions or issues. The place is perfect for two people. We slept comfortably and enjoyed the extra touches of having an AC and a TV by the bed so we could relax when we had some downtime. Location is great, easy access to food options and the metro. Botafogo is a safe area and we didn't feel on edge at all during our stay. The only thing we wish was that it would have been a little cleaner. The floors and the fans had some dust on them and in general it could use a good cleaning. However, we were still incredibly comfortable and felt extremely welcomed there. Vera had left a few snacks and some metro cards for us to refill, which was an especially thoughtful surprise. We would definitely stay again!
