Bonjour, c'était super ! Hello, we had a great time at Rio de Janeiro in this compact 1 bedroom + living room with slipping-cough. Location is perfect just 2 blocks from either Ipanema beach or Copacabana beach: up to you to choose the one you prefer. There's a bus direct from the bus station (rodoviaria Novo Rio) which stops right in front of the appartment and the way back as well: so really easy by bus. Lena speaks french and english and is really fully dedicated to her hosts. There might be some noise in the building on saturday night, but that's Brasil ;-) try to be invited. No hesitation for this good adress.
