Breathtaking views. Disappointing property & host.

The view is the biggest asset of this property. No one can complaint about it as the Sugar Loaf is really there all the time looking at you. We could even see it from bed. That was amazing.

The experience was disappointing from so many angles. First, it's important to note that we stayed 15 nights at the apartment so this feedback is not based on a single-night stay. Here's the list of the aspects that would make me think twice about rebooking this property: 1. The AC: water leakage (condensation) caused inconvenience during our stay. Host's delayed response led to a week-long issue unresolved, impacting our experience negatively. 2. The cleanliness: upon arrival, observed uncleanliness including hair, stains, and odors, addressed upon request but persisted with subsequent issues like dirt, cockroaches, and flies, affecting comfort and hygiene. 3. Painting & Renovations needed: the reality the apartment showed signs of excessive usage and lack of maintenance when it comes to painting and change of some appliances. 4. Door safety: it was incredible to find that the main door or the apartment had a very loose handle and a very small key. The apartment also did not have any safe which made us fear for the safety of our belongings. 5. The staff: there's no onsite front desk, just the cleaning team who is at the property daily from 09am to 6pm. Apart from one of the workers (called Rian) the rest of the team had an unhelpful approach to our frustration and requests. 4. The host: property communication via "anonymous" WhatsApp group lacks accountability, leading to delayed or ignored responses to inquiries and complaints, compounded by a dismissive and condescending communication style.

Quizás para personas solas aventureras y arriesgadas, excelente para parejas

Muy buen departamento, limpio y cómodo, con todo lo necesario.

Lugar no accesible para personas con limitación de movimiento, sin ascensor, arriba de un cerro, no existen especificaciones técnicas de la ubicación, cerca de favela, check in pese a decirles el mismo día de la compra que se realizaria a las 11hrs y el check out a las 7am no se organizaron para recibir las llaves

Great location in Santa Teresa

Great location in Santa Teresa, great view of the bay. Clean, modern and well furnished apartment.

The building had no water for 3 days and we were promised every day that the water truck would come to fill the tank. I also had to change apartment because the AC was not working.

great stay in Rio

terrace with the view, location, fast contact with the owner, fast check in and check out, washing mashing in the apartment

there were some stuff in the fridge after previous guestes, only one key for 4 people, you couldn’t close the window properly so at night we could hear all sounds from the outside

Amazing view in a great space

Incredible view, well equipped apartment. Comfortable bed, air con worked well and was much needed! Was helpful that we were able to check in early (although at an extra cost). The area felt pretty safe during the day time and there are some lovely bars/restaurants nearby (Bonde Boca and Bar Armazém São Thiago) being a couple of them!

Just worth being aware that transport around Santa Teresa can be pretty tricky with Ubers etc. We ended up waiting for a while on some occasions and (we were told) Ubers don’t always like to come up as the roads are very steep and narrow.

Pleasant

The apartment was well-maintained and the amenities were as expected

The check-in process didn't go smoothly at all. We had an extra person joining in for which we had emailed the property and sent all identification documents before the day of arrival. Yet, they only checked it on the spot and denied us our original booking. It was a lot of hassle to finally get to our room. The staff was a bit rude and unhelpful.

Room was ok, service not that great.

The place has plenty of space for 2 people and everything seemed cleaned and organized. The kitchen has good equipment as well. The location is good for someone interested in the city center tourist spots or a cheaper price than Copacabana.

The property looks much more modern in pictures than in reality. Paying attention to details you will find some humidity spots in the bathroom. Checkin process is terrible, I reserved the 8-9 PM time (as they dont have front desk) and got in because someone else staying in the property opened the door as they are not very fast responding the WA. When booking this property do consider it is located in a hill and eventually you will have to climb 10-15 mins from the closest subway station. The zone is safe in general but you should have your own precautions at night. They will charge you a cleaning fee as an additional but you have to take out the garbage yourself. Internet works but had problems with streaming content. We payed extra 60 BRL for baggage storage but the staff was making faces when we said we would pick the bags at 8PM, not friendly at all despite the fact we were paying for the service.

Incredible views of Rio and the Sugar Loaf. Amazing terrace to enjoy your morning coffee or a beverage or two in the afternoon. Modern apartment with all required facilities. Micos (Monkey) will pay a visit every so often if you leave banana outside, my family loved it. All staff are very helpful and polite.

The neighborhood is great. Santa Teresa has a colonial small-town feel removed from the bustle of Rio. The apt. is just barely close enough to walk up from the metro - 10 minutes, not too steep, might not want to do at night. You can also take a taxi, uber, or antique tram. There are many little bars and restaurants in Sta Teresa, or you can walk down to Lapa (Rio's party district) or Gloria. The apartment is well laid out for a Rio studio. Appliances are super simple but they work and are easy to operate.

The bathroom desperately needs hooks for hanging things! The private balcony is to the little street in front. The shared balcony with the incredible water views is several floors down. I might spring for the more expensive apartment with a private balcony facing the water if I did this again. Also, there were a couple billing issues that the management was quick to fix, but check your bills.

excelent! but....

the facilities in itself are great. the view is spectacular. the sensation of privacy and security is great. really good internet for work and travel.

the communication with the owners might be a little tricky. the location of the building is good to move around Rio but if you need to depend on uber services it takes several tries to get one because the drivers don't like to get up there and cancel most of the time. other than that there's really nothing to complain about.

Bright and airy apartment in a great location in St Teresa, all amenities provided. very enjoyable stay.

bright and airy, very fresh feeling to the place. ideal for a couple for a few days break or vacation. All utensils supplied, cooker and microwave, fridge freezer and washing machine everything working. free WiFi and cable tv. No elevator but maximum two floods only. community outside area with the property with fantastic views over Rio. Great location in St Teresa. Small convenient store across the road and small bar beside this.

an improvement could be the supply of some additional bath towels and tea-towels. but everything else was grand, no problems.
