It was not hosts fault that we were 1 day late to check in but to rent condo during our reserved time and refuse to issue a partial refund is bad business practice. He received a double payment for the day and benefited from our flight delay. In the scheme of things though, this was a minor detail. Condo was very hip with great artistic style right in between Ipanema (not quite in Ipanema) and Copacabana beaches. Very happy with everything else. Beautiful place in great location. 8 out if 10 stars overall. Also great communication and a pleasure to do business with during the booking process.
