Alexandre is a very thoughtful and helpful host. He waited me at the metro station close to his place so that he could show me some routes around and give me some suggestions shoppingwise. He always helped me whenever I had questions about sightseeing, hiking, safety, food etc. His place is a tidy, clean, friendly apartment with cool artistic elements. The location is perfect for party lovers and the famous Escalaria Selarón is also around the corner. :)
