Huge space ideal for friends or family. The patio was huge, and door staff super helpful. Will book again!

I will start this review by saying the property is in an absolutely brilliant location, literally 3 mins from the main part of the world famous Copacabana beach. The building is a bit tired and the lifts can be slow with the apartment being on the 13th floor. The accommodation size is large apart from a very small bedroom (a box room) and the kitchen. Only one of the bedrooms is en-suite. The rest of the apartment has a small separate bathroom with shower and the a toilet on its own. The main living room has a large tv with Netflix and U Tube. The outside potion is a good space with tub- it’s not heated and no bubbles so not a Jacuzzi. The patio also has a BBQ, so great for a cook outside. The owner did respond to our request for a change of bedding and sheets mid week. The not so positive parts, the property is tired and in need of refurbishment throughout. Lots of junk in cupboards, handles falling off and generally grubby. There are just lots of things that are broken or are not working. The kitchen utensils are also not great, for example no toaster or kettle (well that we could find). We also found that the property had not been cleaned properly (well not to our standard) - walls and many surfaces were grubby so we spent the first morning of the holiday cleaning and disinfecting so we felt comfortable. We booked as a result of all the other reviews which are really positive (so maybe our standards are too high!) but we were expecting more (a Penthouse is supposed to be Luxury) but ended up disappointed. I will end on a positive note and say that despite the above, the property still represents good value for money given it’s location when you compare the cost of the other properties of comparable size and location etc. So just decide and go into with your eyes open not expecting the world, you get what you pay for. Hopefully the owner will take this feedback on board in the spirit intended and make some positive changes as this could be an amazing apartment with not too much money spent which she would recoup by being able to charge a bit more.

The terrace was awesome. Apartment a little worn but the location was just awesome. The apartment is becoming improvements.
