Alex was a great host as he communicated extremely efficiently and with a lot of information about the surrounding area. Our luggage was delayed and Alex took the time to pick up the luggage for us while we were on our tour and bring them inside. He is very trustworthy and flexible.
The space of his house was just as described. Very large house, showers had warm water, great speaker system, pool was enjoyable, balconies were perfect, beds were comfortable, and the views of the city were remarkable. Overall, a great stay at Alex's place if you are hoping to stay by downtown. Santa Teresa is a bit difficult to access, but it is close to Centro and Lapa. 10/10 recommend if you are hoping to stay in Santa Teresa.
