You can’t beat the location. Unfortunately, the building is pretty old, like most buildings in Rio, and it has a really bad musty smell in the hallway and it sips into the apartment for a bit. The furniture is really old and uncomfortable. The shower needs maintenance and the washer smells bad when you open it. Fortunately for us, we just went to the apartment at night to sleep. Check in was really easy. It’s a little bit complicated to find the building entrance because it’s sandwiched between 2 outside restaurants.
