The location of the apartment is right in the heart of Botafogo and easy access to everything needed (resturants, shops, etc.). The metro is 8 min walk away, but we mainly used Über as that worked out cheaper for the 4 of us. The facilities are great in the complex with pool, gym, onsite restaurant, kids play area and parking if needed. The view of the apartment is amazing as you can see Christ Reedemer from there. I managed to get a few good pics with my camera. The apartment satisfies the needs requiresd. All kitchen equipment is there, so cooking in the apartment is possible. As we went for a wedding in Rio, having an Iron & Ironing board was very helpfull. A few items could do with updating, but the overall value of the price was good.
