Absolutely brilliant place: very homely, very clean and tidy, just as it looks in the photos. Perfect location, around 15 minutes walk from Leblon beach and perfectly safe, even during carnival when we were a little worried that we might be prime targets so close to the favela as tourists (In fact, everyone we saw walking between the favela and Leblon just looked like a normal person... Imagine that! Brazilian. Jeanne was a great host, extremely helpful and friendly - we are just sorry we didn't see more of her!
