Lisi was a great host and the apartment is exactly as advertised. Well furnished, and a view to die for. The neighborhood was very safe. We stayed for an entire month, and by the end we never wanted to leave. Leblon is a comfortable walk away, with great shops, restaurants and the beach. There is a really great bike path on the street below that will make getting back and forth really convenient. Since we were staying so long, we bought two cheap bikes and ended up leaving them with Lisi for future guests. Best. Holiday. Ever.
