Lisiene was an amazing host. She helped us with everything we needed help for (ordered taxi's, food and booked a table for us at a restaurant). She was most helpful and made sure we felt at home. She was also very flexible about check-in and check-out. The apartment has a stunning ocean view to the one side and mountain-view with rain forest to the other side. The sunrise is truly amazing to watch. The outdoor shower adds to the feeling of being on a tropical island somewhere far away (even though the apartment is only a 10-15 minutes walk from the lively streets of Leblon). I can very much recommend this apartment and Lisiene as a host. If this apartment is not available, she has another smaller (and cheaper) apartment on the same address, which is also very nice.
