This is the worst Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Although the house is beautiful, it was not clean when we arrived. The mirrors were smeared and the showers were half cleaned, floors were dirty and flocks of mosquitos and ants were very present in the house.
Worst of all, the security situation here is a DISASTER. Almost EVERY time we tried to get through security, it took forever for them to verify that we were permitted to enter. Imagine being stuck at the gate at 3am for 30 minutes trying to get in a space you paid for. It was a nightmare. And they didn’t speak English of course so it was constant translating through an app, only for them to keep saying they had to verify we could get in. This happened almost EVERY SINGLE TIME. You would think they’d have an efficient system in place to easily let Airbnb guests in, nope!
The host also wasn’t the most responsive once we got there. This location is also over an hour away from Copacabana, which is where most of the action is, so keep that in mind when booking. It’s really far from the airport and tourist attractions.
Overall, gorgeous house, but not worth the stay considering all the problems
