Bryan’s place is good & larger than most. Location is excellent. Flexible check in was appreciated. Other good point: huge lounge windows. However there are some negatives reflected in my scores which I feel are balanced & were checked with Airbnb before I wrote this review.
The apartment needs some essential maintenance. There is some water damage on the lounge flooring and some mould and water damage elsewhere in the apartment. Particularly the en-suite bathroom. Not unusual as it rains a lot in Rio. Property was advertised at 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and an ‘entire listing’ The host told me there had been some more damage to the 2nd bedroom which was therefore locked and unusable. A small bathroom was being used for storage of broken items and was also unusable. These things can happen unexpectedly, and the host explained this. But as a result I have given a low score for ‘accuracy of listing’ and ‘value for money’. In its current state I cant recommend to others on Airbnb.
