The location is great, 1 block off of Copacabana Beach in a safe neighborhood. The apartment itself was lovely and clean, and we felt safe with the doorman and staff at the reception desk that held keys while we were out. We were surprised that there were not any basics in the apartment such as salt, pepper, a bit of coffee, tea, sugar packs, a little cooking oil, a sponge and dish detergent to clean up, as well as adequate toilet paper for the stay. There were no hand towels in the bathroom or a hairdryer: all basics that we expected from prior stays at other AirBnBs. To be told to find a supermarket to get all of the above items was not what we expected.
