Alan's apartment is great. Starting from the decoration, which you can see a lot of effort in every corner; to the location, at the Copacabana's beach, 3 min walk and close to a big Mall (RioSul).
The lady who helps Alan is lovely and is ready to help you on any aspect you desire, such as tip for best restaurant or the cheapest one, cool clubs, attractions nearby...
I totally recommend the experience!
