Cinthia’s apartment was great for our stay! We really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, including the beach and the shopping center. Please be aware that the beach at Botafogo is not for swimming or laying out, but does provide a beautiful view of Pao de Açucar. Also, the lack of available WiFi was a little disappointing for the price.
I would highly recommend this place to almost anyone looking for a nice apartment for a short stay in Rio!!
