Alexandre's apartment is a very unique find. It feels more like a charming private vila than a regular apartment, and it's open breezy layout is something really hard to find in a big city like Rio. To make it even better it has great views of Cristo and a bbq right on the balcony! It is located in the best street of Leblon walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Rio, the beach, the metro, markets and all the trendy spots of Leblon. Alexandre is a great host, very easy to communicate, responsive and helpful. He was very flexible with us and accommodated all of our requests. It really feels like your staying at a friend's house. The apartment is clean and nicely put together and it is well equipped with everything you need. If you are lucky enough to see this apt available don't think twice and book it.
