This was a great location in Botafogo, in a quiet street just off a busy road with plenty of shops and places to eat just a short walk from the metro.
We were a family of 6, 4 adults and 2 children, and fitted perfectly into the 2 bedrooms, one a double and the other fitted with two children's beds. There is a sofa bed in the living area that sleeps 2 adults.
The kitchen area is small but functional and if there is anything missing the host is quick to get it for you (we asked for some extra bowls and they were delivered the next day). In fact Gabriela was a perfect host, checking frequently that everything was ok. As we stayed over Christmas she had put out a few decorations and had a welcome pack of tea, coffee and snacks for our arrival.
There is only one toilet and shower room so a bit of a queue in the morning. There isn't a washing machine so you will need to use a launderette if staying for a while.
Everything is in excellent condition with a high level of cleanliness.
An ideal apartment for a family, conveniently placed for sightseeing in Rio.
