Close to Copacabana We didn’t want to stay in the property, so we spent a lot more time exploring the city.

NO A/C, required open windows to cool down at night, but there were no screens, so the bugs and street smells (urine, smoke) came in. Food spread was covered with ants. Saw cockroaches, mosquitoes and other pests. Toiletries included one bar of soap in each bathroom. No garbage bags, laundry detergent, or other basic house consumables were provided. No clothes dryer, and no clothespins for the clothesline that was outside in the urine/smoke smell. Bedding in one of the bedrooms smelled of urine and hadn’t been washed. Mattresses were lumpy, misshapen and very uncomfortable. Mold and mildew present in the bathrooms. Fridge was warm when we arrived, so we were unsure if our groceries were going to keep.
