Mi è piaciuto: Check-in, comunicazione, posizione
Non mi è piaciuto: Pulizia
From the sublime to the very unpleasant.
The view is priceless, and the location is great! The double mattress in the bedroom is comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is very good. The wifi works well. The air-conditioning is in the bedroom only, and it is good for the bedroom. But...there are some other important details that made for a not so pleasant stay.
The apartment was very dusty smelling. We had the windows open almost all the time to overcome the smell. The culprits are the old, junky, eyesore closet in the bedroom, with several musty items like OLD pillows and cushions, and the big "massa corrida", (spackling) container, paint brushes and ladder sitting in the corner of the bedroom next to the closet. No place else to keep this stuff? So you leave it in the bedroom!
The air mattress in the closet was moldy, so we didn't use it, even though you will need it if you plan on using the "sofa bed". My daughters 17 and 10 had three miserable nights on the VERY HARD surface that is divided in three, so you have these spaces under your bottom or back depending on how you choose to manage the valleys between Hard parts. I messaged Manfred about this and wanted know if there were usable air mattresses. He replied that the couch was made up for them to sleep in. Spend night on your couch Manfred, and then get back to me! Your couch is not for sleeping on.
Buy bottled water for your stay. The water filter over the kitchen sink doesn't work. Only for show. The refrigerator is old. so be sure to close the door well, or it will open.
Remember the shower? Great water pressure. But, the bathtub has an old aluminum and plastic sliding half door on the tub that is very difficult to slide and the plastic bows out and gets stuck so you have trouble opening it when done with the shower. The bathroom is small, and the toilet space is cramped. But the cockroach that appeared at night found it roomy enough. Must be there come in through the drain. Tha was more than enough to turn my wife off, even if Copacabana beach is across the street.
All of the above could be fixed, changed, or discarded, eliminated. If so, this would make for a comfortable, healthy, simple and practical vacation stay. The place has a lot of potential, but is neglected. I opted for this instead of a hotel. It could be very nice if fixed up.
