The living room of this Botafogo apartment faces Sugarloaf across the bay, with a mustard armchair pulled up to the window and framed prints along the wall. Two bedrooms share a bathroom, and each has a bed, a dresser and a round mirror. The kitchen keeps a grinder and a filter machine beside the stove, and a washing machine sits in the service area. Botafogo Praia shopping and the metro are five minutes on foot.

    Waking up to Sugarloaf from the armchair by the window was the highlight of our whole trip to Rio.

    Rafael keeps the place immaculate and the washing machine was a lifesaver after a week of beach days.

    Quiet building in Botafogo, five minutes to the metro, and the coffee setup made every morning feel like a cafe.

    Lovely apartment, but the second bedroom is small and the bathroom queue was real with four of us.

    We cooked most nights because the kitchen was so well stocked, then watched the boats on the bay after dinner.

    Fast check-in through the lockbox, spotless rooms and honest photos; Botafogo turned out to be the perfect neighborhood.

Neighborhood highlights

Botafogo curves around a small bay with Sugarloaf Mountain standing at the far end of nearly every street view. The neighbourhood mixes old townhouses turned into bars and bookshops with the towers of Praia de Botafogo and a large shopping centre by the water. Two metro stations put Copacabana ten minutes away, and the bayside path runs south to Flamengo park. Evenings are lively along Rua Nelson Mandela, where guests find craft beer, live music and some of the city's most talked-about restaurants.
