Great location. Walking distance to both Ipanema and Copacabana beach. Apartment is just as described in the photos. While I didn't get a chance to meet Alexandre in person, he was always quick to communicate via Airbnb messaging and was very accommodating. I really enjoyed his recommendations of places to see in Rio, they turned out to be fun experiences that I wouldn't have done if I was just going simply off a guide book. I would recommend staying at this spot to any of my friends / family.
