My friends and I were young Americans traveling alone for the first time. Although nervous, we booked Alexandre’s place because it was a decent price for a great location. We were not disappointed! Everything you need is around the apartment (markets, shops, bars, cafes, etc) and the landmarks locations are a 20 min stroll away. We made good use of the kitchen’s stove and coffee maker. The only thing is the shower is a little leaky, but it ended up not being too big of an issue for us. Alexandre was a nice and very communicative host during our stay. 10/10 would recommend this to a friend.
