We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Rio de Janeiro. We love traveling and have been renting our homes for more than 25 years and are in our 50's. So we go through every aspect of an accommodation when making a review. We rate 5 stars for excellent /outstanding; 4 stars for very good; 3 stars for good; 2 stars for needs significant improvement; 1 star for unacceptable standards.
The views from the apartment are 5 stars with gorgeous views of the lagoon and Christ the redeemer in the distance, especially at night. Working and communicating with Rejane - 5 stars. Location of the apartment 5 stars. Living room furnishing 4 stars. Cleanliness of the living room, 2 bedrooms, hallway and kitchen 4 stars. Comfort of the beds and apartment 4 stars. Kitchen utensils 2 stars. The pots and pans are very old and so is the cutlery. Changing them will be a great idea. Washing machine 4 stars. Airconditioning and how efficiently it cooled in all rooms 4 stars. Condition of the roller shades on the windows 2 stars. They work well but are getting old and dusty with the edges shredding on a few of them with aging. The 3 tiny toilets / bathroom 4 stars. The main bathroom 2 stars. The main bathrooms grout is dirty with aging and needs to be regrouted, sealed and improved in all corners and the bathroom door painted to fix the chips and dirt in the corners. The shower has a minor leak that needs to be repaired. Also we have homes in the subtopics and ants are always an issue, so we spray the homes every 3 months to get rid of the ants. There were tiny ants in the kitchen and bathroom areas. Driver back and forth to the airport and car - 4 stars. The value of the apartment compared to other large cities is 5 stars. The apartment is very comfortable for 4 people and anymore people would make it staying in very tight quarters.
We had a fantastic time in Rio and we thank Rejane for making our stay very enjoyable! The people of Rio are very pleasant and honest people. Obrigado! !!
