The apartment is in an excellent location, walking distance to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. The apartment is very modern and spacious and was represented accurately in the photos. Tabas utilizes an app that makes check in and communication with the host extremely easy.
I would give it a 5-star rating except there was a cleanliness issue that wasn't addressed. One of the rooms was not usable due to a slight smell and what could possibly be mold on the walls and shower. When I raised the issue to the host, I was told that no one could assist because they were short-staffed over the holiday weekend. I'll give the host the benefit of the doubt that the holiday did contribute to the lack of assistance.
Other than the cleanliness issue, I was pleased with the apartment and its location in Rio.
