This is a lovely space, in a lovely interesting, gorgeous part of Rio. Jennifer is incredibly welcoming - she was really responsive to my questions before I arrived, and made me feel at home immediately. Before I got to Rio I was a bit concerned about safety, but the neighbourhood is great, and the flat is under her family home in a quiet cul-de-sac. I felt totally safe the entire time I was there. I was able to walk to work in Lapa in 10-15 minutes (depending on how many monkeys I saw and pictures of scenery I stopped to take). There are great little bars and restaurants in Santa Teresa just 10 minutes walk from the flat, although I didn't get to try as many as I would have liked to as I was in Rio for work.
I would definitely stay here again - the place was great, Jennifer was lovely and Rio is so beautiful.
