Our family LOVED our stay at the Penthouse...We were enjoying Rio so much that we tried to extend at our FAB 5 star hotel but that was not possible. We found Alex's place on 'instant book' and went for it with no regrets..It was in fact so much better than the hotel because we all had space to relax after full days at the Olympic Village ( a 5 min walk to the metro to get to the 40min ride to the O Village ) , beaches ,restaurants, sights & shopping...everything was close by..Alex was super helpful. It was wonderful to have the home help prepare breakfast & help with other chores..Google translate was must to communicate with the lovely ladies or let Alex know and miraculously it happens! saying here made Rio even more enjoyable..keep up the great work....Would love to return and would definitely stay here again..
