Marise was absolutely great; the apartment was so very artistic with comfortable space for around 2 ppl... well I was living alone so more the room for me :)...stayed in the apartment for one week....right in-front of Claro Office...got my local sim there....nice neighborhood against given precautions did walk alone at night in Botafogo met some bag packers and lots of people living in nearby hostels...was there in Feb so was raining a lot ran into most of the people under shelter....so all in all nice neighborhood.....and not forgetting Marise and her friend Ana were so kind to take me in her car and show me some of the touristic attractions in Rio....all in all a nice comfortable cool stay.....
