I have already had a few good airbnb expierences, this was not one of them. When we arrived at the apartment, there were still guests there - even though we asked about the check-in time. The apartment was dirty and neglected. We didn't feel well there. The favela, that can be seen from the apartment is really loud - especially durring the weekend, which makes it hard to sleep. Out of three showers, only one worked, and not very sufficiently. Furthermore one of the bathrooms always smelled of gas - even though the tank was locked - we didn't feel comfortable with that. We never saw our host Roberto, he wasn't even near the first few days. When he finally was around he told us through a letter, but we never found the time to meet. If you only want an apartment to sleep and don't care about infrastructure and hygiene, it's a good choise(we were only there to sleep anyway). It was ok for once, but we definately wouldn't go again.
