It was a perfect stay in Rio. We only staid for 3 nights, but where overwelmed with the hospitality of Jeanne and her man. When leaving we could leave our bags to visit Rio's most pictured statue.
The location is very good, but better to tell the cab drivers to go to Sheraton (Leblon) Hotel as it is very close and for cab drivers a known place.
Jeanne could also supply us with beach towels and an address for a bike rental. doing biking in Rio is a must :-).
If we go back to Rio this would be our place.
