Diogo’s spot is in a great, safe location in Botafogo - easily the most underrated neighborhood in Rio! Space had everything you could need as a couple or single traveler (3 would be cramped) - Mall/movie theater very close by, along with the beach which is perfect for a morning jog, and tons of great hipster restaurants and bars around. Swimmable beaches like Ipa/Copa are a quick metro ride/uber. But I’ve always preferred Botafogo as it’s less touristy and a bit safer :)
