I just finished a 6-7 week stay in one of Alexandre's apartments and it was beyond what I had expected. His hospitality was second to none. The apartment was exactly as advertised and perfect for my long stay. The neighborhood is very close to everything with 2 supermarkets within 200m from the apartment. He made sure I always had everything I needed and even went above and beyond several times to make my stay truly a great experience. I would recommend him to anyone staying in Rio with 100% enthusiasm. I plan on renting from him again on my next stay in Rio de Janeiro. This is 5 stars without a doubt.
