I’ll start off by saying the host was great!
The apartment had some plumbing issues as soon as we walked in. The host was able to fix everything by calling a plumber. They were very quick and professional. He stopped the leak (which had a huge puddle on the floor under the kitchen sink).
They were very communicative and efficient.
The apartment is located in a very old building and it has it’s problems:
Doors don’t really close easily and windows are very difficult to open.
Beds and chairs were very run down and very noisy! One chair looked like it was going to break.
The shower was great with hot water, but the bathroom sink kept slowly running the whole time, the faucet wasn’t closing very well.
Our bedroom air conditioner wasn’t turning on, so my wife changed the batteries in the remote control and that fixed the problem.
You can see that some renovations have been done, it looks like they combined two apartments into one.
The place is very big and it did accommodate my family with 9 people. As soon as you walk in, you’ll enter the kitchen, which is a lot smaller than it looks like in the photos.
The main take away is that all the bedrooms and the living/dining room has amazing views of Copacabana from Post 6. The only problem was that it was difficult to open and close the blinds and some were broken.
I would return to this apartment only for the view and the location, not so much for the comfort of the apartment.
