The worst place I have stayed in Rio in 26 yrs. I left early; the owners don't invest in this property. It is dilapidated, damp, dark & for me, depressing. Fridge & all shelving are ancient rusting/ broken. The bathroom is sub-standard. I couldn't shower I felt worse after than before. I joined a gym for showers. This is NOT a super host experience. I was a super-host for 6 years. The bathroom/kitchen was infested with tiny flies, and no matter how much bleach/cleaning product I used they returned. a nightly job killing flies, 100's of them, 1 can of fly spray every 2 days. The host's brother arrived late after midnight I was vulnerable waiting with all my belongings in the street in Copacabana, I entered through the kitchen my heart sank at the dismal look of the place. No internet 1 hour + later it works at 1:30 am I am tired, stressed hot hungry disappointed no welcome pack, nothing to drink or snack on in the flat. disgraceful - AVOID THIS PLACE,
