This apartment is incredible. It is clean and spacious, the beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms function well and the showers are really nice. No complaints whatsoever about the interior. It is also in a very secure building with 24hr door person, in one of the safest neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro.
One thing to keep in mind: the location is very loud, at almost all times of the day. I knew this already and was ok with it, but for those who don’t know, it’s best to be aware that you will hear cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles passing all the time.
This apartment is literally steps away from Botafogo metro station, and just across the street from a great strip of restaurants.
This time I discovered a restaurant one block away called Marchezinho. I strongly suggest going there, it was very pleasant.
