This is a good place to spend your time in Rio overall. Safe neighbourhood and cute little apartment with comfy bed. Close to the metro and supermarkets, very close to the beach and easy check in. They react really fast and will try to accommodate you as best as they can. I did have little ants in the apartment, which I didn’t much mind and I saw one cockroach on almost my last day. But could’ve gotten in from the window, the apartment was clean and it’s the tropics. The host reacted fast and offered a bug killer spray.
The only things I think could be better:
For ppl staying longer than 1-2 weeks they should have cleaning supplies as well as new bin bags and a couple of laundry detergent pods or something. For the price that should be included and will benefit them too, since it’ll mean the apartment will stay cleaner. I stayed for two weeks and had to buy a full pack of laundry detergent and new bin bags, but refrained from buying cleaning supplies on top.
Also the pans are extremely scratched and I think basic seasoning like salt and pepper should be in the kitchen.
I had a great time in Rio and enjoyed coming back home here overall though ⭐️
