The flat is clean and well located. It isn't very well equipped and what is supplied is of poor quality.
I had to ask for a hair dryer, beach umbrella, beach chair, dish towel, hand towel for the second bathroom, coffee maker, new frying pan, snorkeling gear and proper sized sheets for the bed. Which Anderson eventually did supply. The old hair dryer he supplied needed an adapter to plug in and he said to use the one in the kitchen behind the refrigerator. I requested a new frying pan as the one supplied had the coating all scratched off and he reluctantly supplied a slightly better one. I requested a toaster and was advised just to use the grill.
This AirBnb listing states the flat has many amenities which it DOES NOT have.
Dryer
Pepper
Fire Extinguisher (not in flat)
Smoke Alarm (not in flat)
Carbon monoxide alarm (not in flat or building)
Beach blanket
Beach towels
Room darkening shades
Dishwasher
First Aid Kit
Private Entrance
Anderson did remove many of the amenities from his listing after I requested he fulfill his promise on AirBnB.
As well, the flat would have to be on Ave. Atlântica to be beachfront and waterfront, which it is not. Just because the beach can be seen from the balcony doesn't make it beachfront and waterfront.
The lock on the sliding door is broken so it can NOT lock. I explained this to him and he said not to worry about it. Rio isn't a very safe city so I did worry every day and night.
It's a nicely located apartment, too bad about the misrepresentation and poor quality furniture and amenities.
