I stayed in this apartment for two months and it was absolutely perfect. Alexandre is a super friendly person and he will help you out if there is anything you need. The apartment is clean, light and has a great little veranda where i had my breakfast every morning. Lapa is a nice place to stay if you want to be close to the action (nightlife). The apartment is situated in a more quiet street in Lapa so you don't have the noise but you are close to all the samba clubs and can still walk home alone late at night which made it perfect for me. Thank you Alexandre!
