Jane, thank you very much! I recently stayed at Jane's condo in Rio with five other friends from April 18th to April 24th, 2013. The weeks leading to our arriving Jane checked with us providing us with many ideas of what to do while in Rio. Also from the moment we arrived until the day we left everyone at the condominium was friendly, attentive and very helpful. I can say it was everything I could hope for. The condo is located in an excellent spot of town, with supermarkets, restaurants, public transportation and of course right on Ipanema with great views of the beach and the Christ the Redeemer from the balcony and from the rooftop. I highly recommend a visit to this fantastic place and cannot wait to return!
