I staid at the apartment with my brother and his girlfriend for 2 nights. I will be honest in this review and not only focus on bad or good things but both. First of all Felipe was a very kind host and let us check in a bit earlier and also the they we checked out we were able to let our luggage stay at his apt. until we had to leave Rio in the afternoon, which was great.
The apartment is located very close to the beach, so I can only say it was perfect.
But I must admit that the headline on the website does not match the actual apartment. The apartment is NOT new or has NEW furniture as described. The coach is very old with a huge hole and the bed was not as clean as on the pic. I understand that thinks change when a lot of people stay the same place, but the description should also change.
The basic cleaning was good, which mean floors were clean and also the bathroom, but the fridge was VERY dirty with glasses with dried coke in it. The stove was dirty too. The bed in the bedroom was very "used" and some of it could have been cleaned better.
The cleaning lady at the apartment is very nice and I am sure she did her best, but will recommend her to have an extra look on the kitchen and bedroom. I am not picky and have staid at a lot airbnb apartments. I also do not want to hurt the host, but I have to be honest. If the things I mentioned would be considered and done I would not have problems renting this apt. again.
