Jake is wonderful host and although we never met, his team were excellent hosts. The apartment is a nice quiet and safe area in Vidigal, and the backyard is a wild jungle. Such a hidden gem and feels like a getaway from the hustle of Ipanema and Copacabana. The views are spectacular everyday of the ocean and nearby islands. It's only a short walk or taxi to town so just be aware in case of wild weather. Amazing stay and will recommend to all my friends.
