It was our first trip to Rio and Alex was the first and the best person whom we met there. he help us too much, was so friendly and we had great trip around Rio till evening. He showed to us many wonderful places, restaurants, bars, markets and sightseeings. Apartments small but so cute and comfortable, with everything what u need during stay in Rio. Its so nearly of Copacabana beach and Copacabana Palace hotel and so safety for stay there. on thursday so nice market starts work from early morning where u can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat etc. Its the best place where to stay in the first visit to Rio - so easy to reach any place. Thank u so much Alex and Anastasia for everything, we wish u only the best!
