Location is extremely convenient and the neighborhood is safe and lively. Right across the street there’s a natural food store with great bread and not even a block away a fantastic por quilo restaurant of high-quality. Right across the Metro. The apartment got a nice view over the plaza of Botafogo station.
There was issue with the electric plug of the microwave but the owner had sent the building staff to fix it.
A few things to note are: water filtering seemed like it needed a replacement, AC is not available in the living area (perhaps a common thing), kitchen ware is limited to bare minimum needs upgrades, and photos are not too accurate in terms of lighting and colors, and not the best if you are light sleeper who wakes up with sound, due to noises from the street, which is a trade-off of such a convenient location.
