We spent four fantastic days in Mariah Fernanda apartment. We arrived directly from France, she waited for us despite our late and we have be very kindly welcomed. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need, we felt at home during these four days. There is a great view from the balcony. It is very well located, it is close to metro, bus stops, a supermarket, bars, ... Botafogo is an ideal starting point to visit Rio. It is very easy to communicate with Maria Fernanda via email, whatsapp,... and she can help you for every thing. We highly recommend her apartment.
