My husband and I stayed at Alexandre's apartment for 4nights during the worldcup period 2014. It is clean and centrally located(close to bus station, supermarket, bars and restaurants; walking distance to metro) in a safe neighborhood. Neighbors are nice and there's a security guard in the building. We had safety concerns before our trip but we totally feel like home after the 1st day. Alexandre is a trustworthy and very friendly host. We enjoyed the quarterfinal match and found no difficulties to travel around w/ metro and taxi during our stay. Alexandre, thank you so much and we look forward to meet you in San Francisco. :) Hugs and kisses.
