Miraflores and Barranco are safe, especially during the day, but even in Barranco during the day I saw a guy taking the phone from 20y/o woman while she was talking on the phone.
I felt safer in Salvador, Brazil than in Lima to be honest.
That said you should never go out alone, especially during the night.
Do not visit Callao or Los Olivos as it is very dangerous even during the day and quite frankly there isn't much to see or do there. Never travel in unlicensed taxis, do not wear expensive clothes or jewellery and keep and eye out for pickpockets. If you follow this general advice and stay in safer areas such as Miraflores you will be fine.
