We stayed at Marise apartment for several days for New Years Eve. The location is perfect. Botafogo has lots of shops, restaurants and cafes. The metro station is nearby. The apartment itself is very spacious, has everything you need. Marise is a great host! Explained us everything. We had some changes with the dates for the stay and she helped us a lot. If we come back to Rio, we would definitely stay again at Marise apartment.
