We had been living for 10 stunning days in the Carolina’s house during the New Year’s holiday 2016.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!!! Carolina and her mother made us feel like at home during the entire period.
They welcomed us very well even though we arrived fairly late due to our intercontinental flight. The house is very pretty, tidy, comfortable and air conditioning provided and, as well as, the room which has been our house for 10 days.
Besides, we have had an indulgent breakfast every morning which is a simply awesome way to begin a day of vacation.
The borough is in a strategic position between the downtown (Santa Teresa, Lasa and so on) and the beaches of Zona Sul (Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon) and basically is placed in front of the Cristo Redentor's hill.
Every place in Rio is easy to reach by bus and metro. Sure enough, the Botafogo Metro station is a 3 minutes walking distance from the house.
In a nutshell, we can strongly recommend it!!!

Thank you very much indeed, Carolina!!
