Great location, close to beach, close to Leblon, restaurants and shopping nearby. Extra towels all very nice. Check in and check out process easy and smooth. Thin linens didn't stay on bed. A ceiling fan would have been very helpful in the bedroom. The air conditioner is old, noisy and not powerful enough. The apartment is long and narrow. The bathroom is about 2 square meters in size(20sf). The kitchen is not well equipped for cooking. The surfaces are clean, however, shutters and tracks on which they slide in the bedroom are old and very dirty. All along the baseboards is accumulated grime. It is an old apartment with cracked floor tiles, broken and worn handles on bedroom cabinets. If location is what matters, this apartment fits the bill., however, we would not stay here again.
