I recently had an opportunity to stay at Alvaro place and I’m sure glad I did. This is in a safe location a 10 min walk from trendiest neighborhood in Rio, Leblon. Easy to get a cab from nearby Sheraton or just grab a lime. Apt located on 9th floor with most amazing view of beaches in Rio. There is also an amazing rooftop to grill or relax. Communication is amazing and host is extremely flexible. We had great conversations, he invited me to hangout and we had breakfast together one morning. I will 100% be staying here again! Thanks!
