The flat is beautiful and very cozy. There are little touches that make it very homy. It was very clean and tidy when we got there. However, it is listed as a three bedrooms, but in fact the "third bedroom" is a service room/storage space, isolated from the living area, with its access via the kitchen and in the laundry area. It had no windows, it was tiny and no suitable for someone to sleep there. That was quite inconvenient for us, as we expected a 3 bedrooms place.
The listing also mentioned a queen bed which was not there, even though there was one in the pictures. There only were single beds in both bedrooms.
Before booking, I have asked the host how far was the next underground station (metro). The host told me it would be a 5 to 8 min walk from the flat. It was in fact over 25 min to get there. If I knew this previously, I would not have booked this place, as we needed a place closer to metro stations. That also brought quite hassle to our stay in Rio.
For those who do not need to be near an underground station, the location is quite good as it is near Shopping Rio Sul, and within a short walk to Copacabana and Urca.
Staff at the building's reception are very friendly and helpful.
