Alexandre's apartment is an excellent place to spend a visit to Rio. The penthouse is located conveniently between Ipanema and Copacabana, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and supermarkets. Throughout the stay, I never needed to walk more than a few blocks to find what I needed. The beach is also about 2.5 blocks away. The amenities were exactly as described and the trip went without issue. Would certainly recommend to anybody visiting Rio.
