The stay at Liene's home has got to be one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. The home was extremely clean and Liene and her two children were very friendly and helped me a lot with getting around and familiarizing myself with Brazil and the people of Rio. The home is in an affluent neighborhood, Leblon, which makes for safe and pleasant entertainment,nightlife,dining, and shopping experience. It is also walking distance from the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Leblon. I highly recommend this place and am sure you will love your stay in my new most favorite city!
