Nice little place in the heart of Botafogo with a private entrance and bathroom, it's located in a secure barrio with access for residents only. It's 5 mins away from shops, bus stops and the metro which is only 1stop from the beaches of Copacabana.
Julia is a superhost and responded quickly to any questions and had great suggestions for local restaurants and pubs, she is very attentive and speaks English perfectly...I highly reccommend her as your host!
The only negative is the outside bathroom which is only a problem on rainy days...otherwise a most enjoyable stay!!!
