So the listing doesn’t shine this up to be some fancy house which is great because honesty is important as we spend a decent amount of money to rent places. This home has SO much potential if a little money gets invested back in. It needs paint as there is a lot of discoloration inside and it just feels “old” and mot a fresh clean feel. The front desk / security is great and friendly. The host Lilien was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Three of the bedrooms have AC and if this is your first time to Rio or Brazil in general it is VERY hot here. The breeze does come thru the home but mid day you have to escape to one of the three bedrooms unless you’re ok with sitting there sweating. The light was going crazy in the one room with the King sized bed. We had to remove the bulb because even when it was off it was still flashing. Showers had phenomenal water pressure which was nice and the temperature was great. Parking situation is horrible , they have a parking garage at 100 Reis per day but unless you’re VERY confident in your parking ability it’s near impossible to navigate down there as it’s TINY ! I had to actually climb to the back to get out of the car. Again the front desk was accommodating and told us that if we don’t have an open easy spot to just double park and leave the keys and if they have to move it they can. Honestly I would just Uber opposed to renting a car in Rio anyhow. Taxi and Uber is very affordable. Would I stay there again ? No …. But if you’re looking for somewhere inexpensive and DIRECTLY across the road from Copacabana beach this is your spot. For me personally I won’t plan to come back to Rio as I saw everything there that I wanted to. But I wanted to write a fair review for future potential customers to just really know what they are looking at.
