The place, in a serviced apartment building with ample parking, is right next to the Botanical Garden and a short walk from Parque Lage. There's a big supermarket right next door and ample choice of restaurants in the area. The apartment is nicely decorated and everything works perfectly. The kitchen is micro but completely functional. Both rooms are spacious with in-suite bathroom. Cristiano is super attentive, responsive and kind. He made quick adjustments when we wanted to extend our stay, and arranged next-day parcel service for a wallet that my friend forgot in the apartment. Highly recommended, both the host and the place.
