Great location! Super close to restaurants, shopping centre, supermarket also close to the beach (copacabana, leme, ipanema)!
The apartment looks exactly like the picture and it has a washing machine! It is super convenient - really good internet as well for all the digital nomads! The area is super safe as well. Maria (the host) is super sweet and responsive, anything that I needed she responded quickly. Hope you enjoy your time in Botafogo!
