Location, location, location…..
A few mins walk from Copacabana beach. My flight was delayed and the host stayed up until just past midnight, which I very much appreciated.
I asked if I could leave my bags for a few hours before I flew. I initially was told yes. Then I was told there would be a small fee. Later I was told that it would cost more than 70% of 1 nights accommodation. I refused out of principle and booked a much nicer cleaner, modern room elsewhere which had no clutter and was even closer to Copacabana Beach.
