OK place to stay. Convenient to museums and attractions. We felt the apartment could use a good deep clean in shower and around walls. As others have commented, very little hot water or no water at all. Front desk came to restart water in apartment as host took many hours to respond. Water then went out a couple hours later. Host responded that they are in a crisis in Rio over water and it is difficult to even find bottled water so be aware of this when booking. You may not have good access to reliable water in the apartment. We were able to find ample bottled water and food around the apartment, so no worries there. Overall, it was a more difficult experience than other Airbnb's we stayed in throughout the world. We thank our host for sharing his very stylish apartment, but we would probably chose a different flat in the future.
