Alex is a perfect host, very friendly and always around to answer your questions. The apartment is super comfortable and equipped with everything you need.
The only thing we were concerned about is that the area of Lapa is full of homeless people and sometimes may not look very pleasant and clean. But it doesn’t affect the safety, plus you have quick access to the Santa Teresa district, Flamengo beach, Selaron Stairs and a couple of subway stations. If you like the nightlife, it will be perfect for you as you can find lots of restaurants of different taste.
