To spend time in a house, that's in a secure vila, in Rio, is something to cherish! Julia's home is so welcome, friendly, and safe. I always travel with my dog, and she also has a dog, and really - it was such a relief to have a home suited for both of us ;-) The room is spacious with high ceilings. The backyard is super big, with lots of room to enjoy the sunshine. Julia and her husband were wonderfully receptive to me and my little guy - they helped me in all aspects possible and truly made my stay comfortable and relaxing. Their home is a gem. I'm already planning to book again for later in the year! (Almost forgot! The location couldn't be better. I'm now a huge fan of Botafogo :))
