Alexandre was a very gracious host. He greeted us upon arrival, ensured that we were aware of how everything in the apartment operated, and was always available if we needed anything or had any questions about the unit or the area.

The apartment itself is gorgeous. We greatly enjoyed the spacious terrace and watching the sunset from our balcony. The rooms were comfortable with lots of closet space. The wifi works execptionally well. Everything in the unit was tastefully decorated and made us feel at home.

The location is hard to beat. A block away from the metro, and close to both Ipanema and Copacabana Beaches. There are also great shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and parks nearby.

I would highly recommend this to place to anyone looking for a relaxing time in Rio and a great base from which to explore the city.
