The apartment offers great views to the beach and the favela. But, the big but… it lacked many of essentials, the apartment basically had toilet paper and utensils. In addition, it would have been nice for the host to tell us that NO taxi, NOR Uber would take us up the hill. We had to drag our luggage up the hill, mind you we don’t know Portuguese! It was a total fiasco! In addition, the place lacked towels, bedding and the ac unit next to the Tv would randomly spit out a horrible smell.
Place is cute, and it’s cute for Instagram, but it lacks cleanliness, and many things to ensure we were comfortable and had the essentials in a rental home.
