I wouldn't stay here again, mainly because I was badly bitten by mosquitoes during the night. (The mosquitoes were very resistant to the spray that I bought to kill them ... although the spray did kill a couple of large cockroaches that had evidently been walking around the apartment at night. - There was no rubbish bin in the kitchen, so they were probably able to get into the plastic bags I was using to put rubbish into.)

The fridge was also very mouldy, which was potentially a health risk, and very disappointing especially given the significant cleaning fee included in the price. (The fridge had clearly been turned off without thoroughly cleaning and drying it first.)

The apartment was two or three blocks from the location shown on the airbnb map. It is in fact just around the corner from the Lapa arches, on a road full of bars. The apartment is at the back of the building though, so was not too noisy. It's on the ground floor, but has bars on the windows, so felt safe. For anyone wanting to party in Lapa, it's a good location - plus near metro stations.

Danielle was very friendly at check in, although she did not respond when I asked via WhatsApp where I could find a laundry nearby. It took me quite a while wandering around to find one, and I didn't ask any more questions after that.

Unfortunately, the vase of flowers fell off the table and broke, so sorry about that. (It's a pretty small table, so I would either get a bigger table, or put the vase somewhere else, because the vase getting nudged off the table was an accident waiting to happen to be honest.)
