Lisiene’s space is nothing short of fantastic and Lisiene herself is an amazing host, quickly responding to messages and questions, offering suggestions and ideas. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. Most nights I slept with the doors to the varanda open and being able to fall asleep listening to the waves crashing against the rocks by the ocean was wonderful. I was a quick ten minute walk from Posto 12 in Leblon, which I did every single day, multiple times a day, including at night. The path by the beach is super safe and not once did I feel unsafe, even when I came back at night. The path is well lit and there are people walking, running, and biking all the time. I never had the need to get an Uber but I can honestly say that if I had I wouldn’t hesitate to tell the driver that Lisiene’s Airbnb is in very a safe area. The space itself was perfect, and the pictures actually didn’t do justice to how fantástico her place is. The kitchen is well stocked (I cooked several meals and I only had to get the ingredients, all manner of pots and pans and utensils were readily available), the bathroom is spacious and the shower is very nice (nice water pressure). The internet was 100 percent reliable and strong the entire two weeks I was there, which can be uncommon in Brazil. In sum, I would come back in a nano second, and in fact I am hoping I will be able to stay here again next year. Thanks, Lisiene!!!!
