The apartment has a great living and dining room with a fantastic view of Copacabana Beach. The large entrance door, living room area, and comfortable TV room all point to a past grandeur, but the apartment is now run-down and in need of detailed deep cleaning, painting, and maintenance. Only two bedrooms have A/C. It looked like the light switches hadn’t been wiped clean in years and some of the cabinets were coming apart and deteriorating. Most of the furniture is simple and/or old, although the furniture in the living room was great.
The kitchen had lovely dinner sets and serving trays, but old and scratched pans and saucepans. A suggestion to the hostess would be to provide sugar, salt, coffee to make guests feel welcome on arrival. In addition, items were needed such as an iron and large knife. Overall, a good apartment, but the price was too high considering the rundown condition of the bathrooms and kitchen. With some improvements, this will be an excellent place to stay.
