We had a wonderful stay at Jeanne's beautiful ocean-view cottage! Jeanne was a fantastic host and even arranged for her friend Mauro to pick us up at the airport (for about the price of a taxi) a huge plus! This location is perfect for young couples but be prepared for the steps (we didn't mind them). Leblon is a short walk away to offer restaurants, shops, and of course the beach. Very great experience all-around!
