Fantastic apartment with a perfect host. We highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Rio.
We stayed in Lisiene's apartment for a week. The location is perfect. It's located a few minutes walk from Leblon which you can reach along a safe pathway. The Sheraton Hotel is across the road which is a good reference point for Taxis and Uber. You can access the beach in front of the Sheraton easily. It's a great beach and away from the crowds of the main beaches. There are numerous buses that go from outside the Sheraton to bring you to the tourist sites, beaches and airports. We used taxis, uber and buses while we were there with no problems. For Taxis and Uber it's easier to select the Sheraton as the pick up point as the street where the apartment is located can be difficult for cars to find. We walked to Leblon and home in the evening and felt very safe throughout the stay.
The apartment is just as shown on the profile. It was very clean and bright. It's accessed by a long staircase. It has the most amazing terrace overlooking the ocean. You can hear the sound of the waves all day and we spent lots of time relaxing on the terrace. It got sun in the morning until mid afternoon. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. Lisi provides plenty of towels. The kitchen has the basic things needed to make a simple meal. There is a great fridge for keeping your beers cold. The shower was warm with good water pressue. There is a good sized TV with cable.
My wifes parents joined us for 3 nights and they used the sofa bed which was perfect. The apartment is comfortable for 4 as it's spacious.
Lisi was an excellent host. She made sure we had everything and it was nice knowing she was just downstairs if we needed anything.
Overall we would highly recommend Lisi's apartment particularly if you want to spend some time chilling out on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Plus the area is really nice with plenty of bars and restaurants close by. I only wish we had stayed longer.
