We loved our stay at Alexandre's apartment. The apartment is a stylish, spacious, fun place to stay in the heart of stores, bars and restaurants in Impanema and just two blocks from the beach. It is also a great base for exploring Rio as the metro and main Impanema bus stop are only one block away. Check in was a breeze as there is a doorman always on duty. Alexandre was always easy to reach and made sure to check in with us while we were staying there.
