The location is stellar. It’s directly across from a metro station entrance and easy to access by car and foot even during carnival. It’s close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. It’s also close to supermarkets, bars, restaurants etc.
I liked the wood floors, the renovated bathroom, and the location.
The apartment could use some maintenance. The air conditioning didn’t work well. The bathroom mirror is cracked, the sink leaks, the toilet seat is loose, one chair is broken and the other one is missing. The wifi was inconsistent.
The bedroom is extremely bright even with the curtains drawn.
For the last two days the air conditioning wasn’t working. It was 36°+humidity, so we had to leave and find other accommodation. The host said since it was the weekend, no technician was able until after we checked out. I asked for a one night refund, but the host said it wasn’t possible.
