Location was great. On rua richaleu, walking distance to the nightlife of Lapa and the winding streets of Santa Teresa, cinelandia metro station. Can get loud on weekend nights, so pack some earplugs if you want to sleep, else join them!
Apt was clean and good. Good kitchen, iffy shower, tv and wifi and 2 good solid beds.
Alex was a good host. Received us, showed us around the apt and answered all our questions on whatsapp. Friendly and prompt!
