The apartment was amazing- it was very beautiful, modern, and comfortable. We had a group of 6, so we also loved that there were multiple bathrooms- this made it very easy for everyone to get ready in the morning. The rooftop view was gorgeous. You can see the Christ the Redeemer from the rooftop. The pool was smaller than what it looked like on the photos, but nice to have nonetheless. The location was also wonderful and very convenient.
The host was honestly not the friendliest person, and she was not very accommodating. On the day of check-in, we were driving from Paraty, which is a 4-hour drive. We were planning to arrive a few hours before check-in start time, and we asked the host if we can store our luggage in the unit for a few hours. She said no. We then ended up spending the morning in Paraty and arriving at the apartment a few hours after check-in start time. We messaged the host when we were on the way. We messaged her again when we were about 30 minutes away. She responded that she was waiting for us earlier and she had already left the apartment. When we arrived, we waited for her for about 45 minutes in the parking lot before she came to let us in. Before our last day we asked if we can check out a few hours late and informed the host were willing to pay an extra fee. She said that’s not an option but we can pay for an extra night, so that’s what we ended up doing.
