Apartment was solid, the fridge was new, very clean, large new tv in living room. The work desk was good with a lot of beautiful natural light, but there was only one chair that we could use to work from. (There were armchairs but they didn’t fit in the desk space.) The living room and kitchen didn’t get much light and were pretty dark. At night, there was nice mood lighting in the living room and desk area, but it was dim…just enough to read, maybe. Pretty inconvenient when trying to work at night.
The air conditioning was great, very strong. Location was great, right on one of Leblon’s main streets, a 5 min walk from the beach, but that also means it’s noisy at night.
Communication was poor. It took a long time to receive responses and I had to send follow up messages to get responses. I asked about the check in process and it took 1 or 2 days to hear back. We also asked about extending our stay by a night and never heard back. We had problems with the hot water that we wrote to Marcia about and also never heard back.
