Pros:
Good location in Lapa with bars, nightlife & restaurants nearby, comfortable bed, hot shower. The host is very helpful.
Cons:
It I hard to say that this condo has a kitchen. There is a sink and cabinets that are mostly empty. There is no stove or oven, there is just a hot plate that you can plug into the wall but there is not one pot or pan. There are 3 plates but not 1 bowl.
There are things missing the condo that you would expect even in a hotel. There is no shelf for anything. There is no shelf in the bathroom and a very little space on the counter top next to the sink for toiletries. There is not even a hook in the bathroom for your towel.
The listing states that there are hangers but there are only 4. There is no closet, wardrobe or drawers to put anything away. I have never stayed in a hotel or an Airbnb where there was not 1 shelf or drawer. You must leave everything in your luggage or stack it on a chair. The conveniences provided by a typical Airbnb apartment or condo are just not available in that condo.
There is a large vent in the kitchen and all of the sounds from the neighbor’s condo come through into this condo.
The washer & dryer are on the 3rd floor and require tokens. I was anxious to get my laundry done but shocked that to wash & dry 2 loads would cost $40R. The tokens are $10R each. The Host was gracious and offered to pay but I didn’t feel that was fair to him. I will pay for my own laundry, but I have never paid that much. The 45 minute Uber ride from the airport cost less.
