My friend and I enjoyed staying with Jeanne and her husband Attilio very very much. The apartment was wonderful, very light, comfortable and clean. We liked two queen/king sized beds, so no one had to sleep on pull out sofa or so. Having a cup of coffee in the morning and watching the amazing sea views from a huge window or roof was great. We felt very safe and did experience even the slightest signs of any harassment walking around (Vidigal favela is nearby). I do really recommend spending time in Vidigal favela, go out there, drink and eat and meet wonderful people. We were walking a lot around despite Rio being a huge and generally not walkable city. From the apartment it is 10 minutes to Leblon/Ipanema beach (nicer ones than Copacabana) and 40 minutes walking to General Osorio metro station. Jeanne and her husband were very welcoming and great people and I generally highly recommend to stay with them if considering airbnb in Rio.
