Jeanne's appartement is just wonderful. It is clean and cozy, the view is indeed just breathtaking and the sound of the ocean will stay in your memory. The shower is awesome. We felt very safe, it is a short walk to Leblon beach (which we liked better than the Sheraton beach). The buses that will take you anywhere are equally close. The only drawback we had is that some taxistas would not want to drive us there because the street name suggests a different location. But Jeanne is already thinking about a solution to this. She and her husband are very warm and friendly, they are truly lovely hosts and will provide you with all the information. We would come back any time and suggest Jeanne's appartement for anyone who seeks the perfect Rio experience.
