I strongly recommend this accommodation because of its location, comfort, and dependability of the host, Alexandre. My traveling partner and I enjoyed the convenience of having easy access to many historical sites (in Lapa, Centro, Santa Teresa), restaurants, and nightlife along with countless choices of public transport. The apartment is well equipped and maintained. Moreover, the apartment building and the street of the studio's location is quiet despite its close proximity to Lapa's nightclubs. Alexandre is a wonderful person; he is welcoming, personable, and reliable. Should I return to Rio, I will definitely rebook this apartment.
