The apartment is falling appart but mostly it was extremely dirty. I bought new sheets for the bed and spent my month there touching as little as possible and even showering with flip flops. Little aunts were everywhere and some cockroaches too. The kitchen was gross and not well equiped at all, I was too disgusted by it to even cook at all. I feel bad for saying all this because the woman was nice and I know the places in Brasil are not quite the same standards as elsewhere in the world. But she could have made a little effort on the cleaning. When I arrived she was making the bed, I think from previous guests that had left but didnt clean anything else. There was sand on the floor, hair in the shower etc just really dirty. I guess for the price of having an appartment alone in copacabana it is what it is.
