Alex Place was one of the best locations i have ever stayed after many years of visit in Rio. It is less than a minute to best beach spot in Ipanema ( Spot number 8) and best resturants like Boteco Belmonte is just down from your apartment. This apartment complex extends between two streets and has lobby in both streests. One lobby is on Rua Prudente de morais 368 and the other lobby is on r. visc. de pirajá which has more than 1000 shops to buy or eat anything you like. Also each friday and Tuesday there is farmers market a block from your apartment. You can see jesus statue from living room and ocean from one of the bedrooms. The place is super extremely quiete and you can see the pool from balcony. Kitchen is fully stocked and you have all the high end items you can imagine. This is a modern american apartment in the best location of Rio:) My family really enjoyed this place and we highly recommend it to all familes.
