We had a great time in Rio as usual. We've been going there for 22 years. Matthias's apartment was a major disappointment for us. There was construction the entire time we were there in the apartments above us. The apartment is billed as a "clean" and safe place. There is no safe or clothes closets in the apartment. The apartment itself is in a good location, but it is not clean at all. The shower curtain had mildew all over it. The ceiling in the bathroom has mold which has been painted over. The refrigerator has no freezer door and needs to be defrosted. There is mold on the refrigerator. The handle to the bathroom door fell off constantly, and the toilet seat was cracked when we arrived. I had to replace every battery in the remotes when I arrived. The air conditioner in one bedroom worked only. Worst of all was the mold around the bathtub. We've had apartments before, but none was this bad. I'm sorry to have to write this to you, but we will not rent this apartment again without improvements.
