Jan was really kind and ready/disposed to help and to give you tips and information. I had a really great stay at Jan's apartment during carnival and it was a great experience, since it's closer to a lot of main places in Ipanema. You'll find lots of bars, restaurants, drugstore, supermarket, subway station, ipanema beach @ posto 9 in few meters away from the apartment. The apartment is really cozy and equipped and I recommend for any kind of traveler! Thanks Jan, see you next time.
