I recommend Alex place and I’d definitely come back to his place. Alex was very flexible, helpful and kind, he has made a lot of good recommendations.
Felt very safe (présence of a guard 24/7 + very safe neighborhood), perfect location 1 block away from Copacabana’s beach. Very close metro & bus station. Every Sunday morning there is a market down the building and also there are 2 supermarkets very close. Loads of restaurants, bars near by. Great place to be!
The flat is perfect for 2 people. Great value for money!
The room has Air-con and living room a ceiling fan. The kitchen is a bit small and there was not any salt/pepper & oil but it was not a problem for me as I stayed 12 days and bought everything I needed.
