Dejanira's place was exactly as described. It has the beautiful view of downtown Rio, centrally located close to everything, well stocked apartmen, and Dejanira is an excellent host! Can't really say more than how much I enjoyed staying there and how responsive Dejanira was in resolving the few issues that came up while I stayed there. But as others have noted it can get quite noisy on the weekends as this located in the center of Lapa, the heart of the nightlife area of Rio de Janeiro. But some good earplugs and running the fans help to get through those nights, or just go join the party.
