Pros: Good location, about 1 1/2 blocks from Copacabana Beach and 5 blocks from Ipanema Beach in a safe and ideal neighborhood. The host typically responds fairly quickly to questions and inquiries. Cons: When initially booked this home, the first thing that drew us in was the fact that check in would be available, according to the listing, at 00:00 or 12AM. Upon inquiring with host, was informed that it should read 12pm, even though this was never updated and still hasn't been updated on the listing. As our flights arrived into Rio in the early morning hours, we did request an early check in at which point the host informed us that we'd be able to check in at 10am and to contact the check in liaison, Elisa. Elisa was unresponsive to inquiries regarding check in for several hours and when we're finally invited to come to the house, it was a disgusting and filthy mess which had not been cleaned yet. Elisa informed us that we could leave our baggage and return after the home had been cleaned but we opted to sit on the terrace and wait since we had been informed that it wouldn't be much longer before the cleaning ladies would be finished. This turned into well over 3-4 hours and when the cleaning staff finally left, it was nearly 4pm. Also, the listing doesn't mention a deposit but was asked for a $200 deposit by Elisa during the check in process at which point I informed her that there was no mention of the deposit in the Airbnb listing. Even after the cleaning staff left, the house still needed a lot of attention. The sofa had a strong, disgusting, and pungent body odor smell. The towels had a funky mildew smell. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a "King" sized bed which is basically two twin beds pushed together but annoyingly drifts apart while sleep. The walls were dirty. The mattresses--filthy. There was hardly enough toilet paper to get us started as less than half rolls were left in a few of the bathrooms. The door that leads to the outdoor terrace wouldn't close all the way and made noise throughout the night. The pool table, while very nice, did not have functioning pool cues. I also feel the original pictures of the outdoor space were inaccurately depicted, however, the pictures have since been changed. The biggest disappointment of our stay was that an iPhone 6S Plus was left in the upstairs bedroom under a pillow when we checked out. We informed host and asked that it be put up. It took more than 24 hours and in fact, I had to contact host to follow up before we heard anything back, at which point, the host stated she would check with the cleaning lady. A few days later, when we still hadn't heard back, I contacted the host again to follow up, at which point, she informed me of the bad news that...
