5 STARS all the way! Alexandra is a superb host. The apartment is in the BEST location, literally a 3 minute walk from Copacabana beach. Safe area with all the amenities you ever wanted as well. The apartment was super clean, well designed, exactly as you see in the photos, comfortable, quiet, bright with everything one would need. But back to my gracious host, Alexandra was very easy to communicate with, always responded to emails promptly, offered info on Rio and was very accommodating with everything. If one were to ask if I would stay again, well yes, 100%. In fact I booked another 2 nights, lucky me it was available!!
