We stayed in this apartment for 45 days. It was not a tourism trip. We went to Rio to run personal errands and we were working remotely during our stay. So, we really stayed inside the apartment for a long time. The best quality of the apartment for sure is the location at Copacabana’s heart, close to public transportation, restaurants, beach, drugstores and so on. The internet worked very properly during all the stay what was good to us because of the work. The bed mattress is very comfy. The washer really helped us in a long stay. Checkin and checkout were very easy with Sandro that explains the amenities and rules.
We faced some issues during our stay as well, but we were very busy during our stay and could not ask Sandro to solve them while we were there, but we made him aware of them at the checkout. The entire building has cockroaches, so we found multiple cockroaches (huge amount) and cockroaches eggs in the apartment many days and listened the neighbors killing them with spray as well. It really made us upset, because the quantity was really big. Other strong problem is the shower temperature control was broken. So, the water temperature is only one and too cold to my taste. Other issue that needs to be addressed is the sewer smell that comes from the kitchen sink. You need to keep its drain closed to avoid the smell. One point we forgot to mention to Sandro is the room window. It has a gap at the sides from where you can listen all the street traffic noise. During the night its not easy to sleep since Barata Ribeiro is a very noisy street. It would be good to improve the window as well.
