Thais’s accommodation was tired to say the least, the photos were a little outdated and there were many things that appeared to be falling apart from the slightest touch. However, having spoken to Thais, she didn’t seem to be aware of the problems that arose, but was willing to work and correct them for future guests.
The damp smelling lift taking you up to the 10th floor was an experience of Rio itself, just not one anybody should endure. It jolts at both ends panicking the user.
The location has security, and there are two entrance gates prior to entering the lift, however the location at night can be quite sketchy. On the other hand it is 2 blocks away from the beach if your main interest is this.
Due to the issues we encountered it made staying there inhabitable, and lead us to find alternative accommodation.
