Alessandro's place is in a great location only a couple blocks from Copacabana beach. It is in a building that looks to have some old and some renovated apartments. It has a doorman which made my girlfriend and I feel a little safer.

The apartment itself was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The washer/dryer was a nice touch. The safe was large enough to accommodate two large laptops and some other personal items.

Would recommend the apartment to others interested in staying in the area.
