Patrick was a super host - very responsive and friendly. The apartment was in a good location but it was extremely noisy at night..I guess that's quite obvious for Copacobana but even on the 11th floor it was very noisy during the night with traffic and noise from the bars around so made it difficult to sleep with windows open. If you don't mind that, it's fine.
Apartment was cool, all the equipment needed for a stay. There was a really bad drain smell coming up either from the shower or the toilet (never worked it out - possibly hadn't been rented for a while) and even though someone came around (a friend) there was never any maintenance person. Also there seemed to be a little problem with bugs/ants.
The tv connection was also really patchy which made using Netflix etc impossible (didn't really need it but the two times I tried, it didn't work).
Other than that plenty of room inside, nice balcony and a great location.
