We love, love, loved our trip to Rio! This was a clean, good looking apartment, well designed, even had blackout curtains, equipped with everything we needed, AND in a great location in Ipanema, with a very short walk to the beach. The apt. even has a great view of the Cristo, we were so surprised, looks beautiful lit up at night. :) Jan was a great host & very responsive, he even provided great advice on all types of activities. We love Rio, listened to live music & danced every night. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks for making this such a great experience Jan!
