The apartment is in a nice neighbourhood with walking distance to Botafogo beach, shops and restaurants. The complex is very safe.
The apartment is smaller than we expected and would benefit from some maintenance and upgrades to the bathroom and kitchen particularly as the complex describes itself as long stay Botafogo. We didn’t mind the size because we were there for 2 nights, but if we were going to stay longer than a few days, then we would want something bigger and better equipped (for example there were no shampoos nor soap).
However, I can’t but say good things about Gratia herself. She was very responsive and accommodating. She even extended our check-out time by 2 hrs given it was New Year’s Day. This gesture was much appreciated.
