When we arrived at the house Jeanne was there to greet us with coffee which was a lovely welcome. The house is perfectly situated on the hillside to give amazing views out over the sea and Rio's beautiful landscape.
Ipanema is in walking distance and we even walked to Copacabana one morning. We used Uber to head into town on the evenings which was pretty straightforward.
Jeanne was a fantastic host and the house is even better than in the pictures. I would highly recommend this for anyone staying in Rio.
