We had a fantastic trip although the accommodation was the weakest aspect. On the plus side it is perfectly located for Copacabana, a very short walk back from the beach (ideal for anyone wanting a central Rio location) and is in a smart and very secure building. Rachel was also very quick to respond to any queries in advance and was always available. Our host was also very flexible about checking in and checking out.
On the downside we paid an awful lot of money for an apartment which didn't quite live up to its photos. We were there for the Olympics so got through it ok and it didn't spoil our trip but we wouldn't stay here again if we returned to Rio.
As a host myself I like to ensure all the little details are in place for my guests - a proper clean, some provisions in the fridge, plenty of toilet roll and clean towels etc. None of those things were there which was a shame and would have counted for a lot. The two single beds were not comfortable and one of the bedrooms is very noisy.
Overall it served a purpose but outside of the Olympics period it would not have been worth anything like the amount we spent.
