The apartment is in a great location five minutes walk from both Copacabana beach and Cardeal Arcoverde metro station for getting around the city. 'Cozy' is an apt description as it is very compact but it is comfortable and as a base for exploring Rio superbly situated. Although we didn't meet Jean personally he was a great host from start to finish, answering queries quickly and cheerfully. Our group of four enjoyed our stay here and I have no hesitation in recommending both Jean and this apartment. Thanks Jean!
