Antonio was a great host! He showed us around the neighborhood right when we arrived. So we were aware of the basics we might need: ATM, Metro station, restaurants, bars, shopping center, etc.
Botafogo is a very safe and well located area of the city, between the party area and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Taking the metro we were at the beach in around 15 minutes. And by taxi more or less the same time.
The flat is very clean and the bed was very comfy. There are two toilets, both of them clean and big well equipped. We did not make use of the kitchen but it seemed fine.
