My long stay here was ideal. Judith & Christiane are extremely attentive to detail and the apartment was sparkling clean. Christiane was very accommodating from the outset, letting me leave my bags in the apartment a few hours early while it was still being cleaned, and she continued to be available/responsive throughout my stay when anything came up. The apartment is perfectly located right in Botafogo, with several grocery stores nearby and the metro one block away. You'll definitely hear sounds from the neighborhood but the unit faces away from the street so it's pretty quiet overall. I look forward to staying here again.
