Vera's loft was a cozy, clean place to crash for our time in Rio. It is located in a great area, right off of the Praia Botafogo, across from the mall. Lots of interesting things and sights within a close walk. The place is definitely small (especially the kitchen) but it worked fine for 3 people who don't mind sharing close quarters. Overall good value, convenient, and Vera is a helpful and providing host.
