    The first week we stayed at the Penthouse Botafogo. This apartment was central to all the attractions. I communicated with the owner, Walter via WhatsApp . There is a washing machine in the apartment so u could wash your clothes if necessary.

    We could see the Christ the Redeemer statue from all the rooms as well as the Sugarloaf mountain . The beach was within walking distance, but not suitable for swimming. People are very fitness conscious so there were always activities on the beach as well as on the beachside of the road. We felt safe walking along the beach road. The apartment was close to the supermarket which was just at the bottom of the apartment. The Botafogo shopping mall was also within walking distance. We went to the hairdresser in the mall and they did a very good job.. Also quite close to the metro station if u wanted to take the train. The train system was very easy you just buy a card which u need to load to take a trip on the train. You just follow the color lines for where you want to go. Hundreds of people make use of the train on a daily basis.

    The apartment had 3 bedrooms. The two were for couples and the one was a single bedroom but it had an extra bed that could be used if you were more people. Each bedroom was en-suite with a shower and toilet. The shower in the single room was not as functional. It has a big sitting room area as well as a big kitchen where we had our dinners.

    There was only a coffee maker but no kettle. All other essentials were there. The stove were gas.

    The apartment also had a terrace, where there was a Brazilian area as well as a jacuzzi which functioned as a dip pool.

    We did a city tour which included the Christ the Redeemer entrance, the park next to the statue, Seleron steps and we had lunch close to the Seleron steps. Rice and black beans are part of almost every meal u order. As the apartment is in the main road there we many taxis going by which u could stop if u needed one. The Uber was cheaper than the taxis but unfortunately the app didn’t allow me to book as it asked for a cpf number which only Brazilians have.

    Page only thing that was a bit frustrating was that people did not speak English so communication was a bit of an issue. I had the du lingo app but that was not sufficient to have a conversation, but it helped a bit.

    Rio was a lovely place and would definitely go back there if I am able to.

    Bought a Balenciaga designer bag. While busy buying the bag, I, again, accidentally dropped my Fendi bucket hat. Although, it was difficult to converse as I dont have a portugues knowledge, was able to go to cuatomer service. And lo and behold, my hat was there. Thank you so much.

    This mall is located in a middle class neighborhood near the train station and the beach. Well located. It has many floors and on the last floor , there is a balcony where you can see a fanstastic view of Botafogo. The backdrop of Botafogo beach is terrific!! There are many bars nearby where you can have fun with your friends.

    It looks deceivable small form the Avenida das Americas, but it is larger on the sidestreet. Nice movie theather, mainly room number 6. Great seats, screen and sound. Good restaurants, for different tastes and $. It has a lot of nice stores, a good and clean environent and parking. A good surprise. The only drawback was the limited number of wheelchairs available.

    We went to this mall next to Santos Dumont airport. Only coz of some live music band was suppose to perform. But, they changed the location and we ended up shopping and eating at the mall. Have some nice branded fashion and accessories shops. Forever 21, Osklen, Farm, American Tourister, Food court with burgers, coxinhas, and Brazilian food.

    A good shopping mall in Rio de Janeiro. If you are visiting the city for few days I would recommend other shopping centers such as Village Mall or Barra Shopping. However, for long term residence, Via Parque offer a good place to shop especially for kids. The food court was recently remodeled. Lot of activities for kids.

    There is a hotel and "salas comerciais", with also a good selection of diverse restaurants where you can find what you like to eat.
    There are meat, pizzas, vegan, portuguese, big ones and small ones.
    There is also a big one "party restaurant" with loud music, special for young people.
