Jeanne's place is really unique. Its setting is just awesome, breathtaking, you can jear the sound of the waves and the view is stunning. Inside, it's really comfortable and neat and has big windows. The surrounding hill and Atlantic Jungle are so nice! The gardens too. It's very close to Leblon and Ipanema. For transportation, it's easy to take buses and you can request an Über from/to Sheraton nearby, as many won't pass by Vidigal's favela entrance, even though it's just a glimpse of a moment. They shouldn't be so radical. We felt safe all the time, even late at night. And Mauro, the driver, took us in and out from the airport with really great standards. Jeanne is a great host, very friendly and we felt welcome there. She was always available when needed. Be prepared to climb 136 steps! But you get used to it in time and it's worth it.
