The people that work in the building and the apartment are very nice and responsive. The bathroom had a big leak in the ceiling when we get there and we were told was going to get fixed the next day. Unfortunately it was not successfully fixed until we left (I hope it did) and we ended up having a leak and a dirty bathroom/shower during our stay. The kitchen needs some love in terms of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. It’s more like a bachelors pad and if you don’t plan on cooking at home, you will be fine. It’s a nice spot and the view from the terrace of the favela is ver contrasting and beautiful.
