I would highly recommend Lis place when visiting Rio. It is a safe neighborhood, super close to the beach, a super market next door and loads of bars and restaurants. the apartment is in a safe building with good WiFi for remote working. Lis is also fabolous, super helpful and responsive and was very flexible with check in and check out. if she is not around she has a local contact who is also super helpful! I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back!
