I kind of expected a great house and I got just that. The house is lovely, perfectly located, with a lovely setting and disposition. The common spaces (both interior and exterior) are really nice. The decoration is tasteful and seducing and really high-end. The flat is located a few minutes walk from the Copacabana beach and the area is lively, felt safe and lovely to live in. We loved it!
The communication with Alexandra was stellar. We did have a few issues (one AC not working great, TV working erratically, toilet flush not flushing, water coming up from sewage drains), but Alexandra dealt with them efficiently and immediately. Not only she was great helping to deal with those issues, she was great helping us move around, giving us hints and helping us find an hotel for our first night in Rio.
All in all, great host for a great house in a great area... that contributed to make Rio de Janeiro an even more magical experience.
