Jaline is a wonderful host, and her apartment is the ideal place to stay during a trip to Rio. Botafogo is centrally located, with easy access to both the north and south of the city. I had never been to Rio before, and Jaline went above and beyond--recommending restaurants, music venues, and other attractions. The apartment comfortably sleeps two, and the balcony is the perfect spot to sit with a glass of wine and watch the city. I could not recommend more highly!
