We stayed in this apartment for a month, it's very nice, comfortable, clean and have everything you'd need. Alexandre is the best host you could ever wish, friendly and always ready to help or advise, he helped us a lot and also picked us up at the airport and on our way back.
There is a nice cafe right in front of the house and there are many places to visit around, from restaurants to famous landmarks. You will see Carioca Aqueduct and Catedral Metropolitana de São Sebastião from the balcony, the cathedral is beautifully lighted in violet at night.
If you'd like to have a comfortable place to stay near to the night life, it will perfectly suit!
Thank you very much Alexandre!
