I spent two months in Lilian's apartment. The apartment is very cute and exactly as described in the photos. The location is ideal as it is close to restaurants and more importantly to the Botafogo metro station. And Lilian was a great host who was in regular contact before and during my stay at the apartment. I had a few maintenance issues arise and she was very responsive to getting those resolved. As an FYI to others who are not accustomed to gas appliances, you may smell gas in the apartment more than you are accustomed to! I hired Lilian's housekeeper who kept the apartment in tip top shape during my stay. I would definitely recommend Lilian's place if you are staying in Rio!
