I spent a wonderful month at Raul’s place. The location is wonderful, in front of Botafogo bay and beach, the view is stunning and you have everything you need in the surroundings in order to enjoy your stay... bars, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. Besides that, the metro station is 5 minutes away by walking which is very practical to move easily to all Rio’s quarters. The quarter is safe. I highly recommend this place to anyone who would plan to stay a few days or a bit longer like me! Cheers
