We had a wonderful stay at the apartment from Lisiene. The rooms were great and very clean, the view of the beach is epic and Lisiene makes you feel very welcome is her beautiful apartment. She is very helpfull and knows the surroundings very well. She allocated us some food for breakfast when we arrived early in the morning. We stayed for 4 nights at the end of our 4 week vacation and used it as a base to explore a little bit of Rio de Janeiro. The beaches (for example leblon beach) are lovely nearby, just 10- 15 min to go. We used also the taxi service from Lisiene's brother and felt very safe in his car. I would recommend anyone to stay here and stay longer than just 1 night..You will love it! Muiyto legao :)
