I stayed at this apartment for a period of 5 months. The location was amazing: close to the beach (Praia de Botafogo), to a mall, a supermarket, and to the metro. Botafogo is a nice neighborhood where i felt really safe. The presence of many gatekeepers in the building contributed to that as well. The apartment itself was a bit smaller than expected, but sufficient for one or two persons. All the facilities were good and clean, and there was plenty of stuff available (i.e. cutlery, bedding, and cleaning products). In the period of 5 months, I had some issues with water, internet and electricity but Samantha was helpful to fix these problems as soon as possible. Communication was sometimes a bit off, but she was really helpful. I would recommend this apartment!
