I agree with all the previous reviews about the studio and Alex. Alex is an incredible person, very open, caring, positive and very friendly. We had numerous great chats about life - he is a very interesting person to talk to about everything! We truly became friends during the amazing Safari Alex took me on. The studio is very modern and I was amazed that Alex was behind the design. Everything is super stylish, convenient, brand new and full of high-tech gadgets (you will be amazed how you lock your door to the studio). The studio has everything you need: TV, wi-fi, superb bathroom, amazing mood lighting, even the steamer and a washing machine! Very comfortable bed and bed linen. The building has 24 hour security and is very safe. The location is superb - with great places to eat, buy food AND Copacabana is only 3-4 minute walk away. Alex briefed me on everything about the apartment and the city upon arrival which was super helpful. We also chatted a lot over whatsapp before arrival as I had a ton of questions, but also Alex wanted to make sure I am comfortable with my travels and stay at the studio. He even took me to the airport on my way back as a courtesy. His Rio tour is a MUST do in Rio - best 8 hours spent in and around Rio. We went to the Christ, national part, secluded beaches, up to the mountains, coastline and much more! It was very easy-going and full of great views and chats trip! Alex, his studio and tours are phenomenal! Was my best experience via AirBnB. I truly cannot wait to come back and will recommend Alex's studio and hospitality to everyone I know. I wish I stayed more. Sounds a bit cheesy, but I am being very honest here!
