It was great to stay at Ana Lucia's place at Leme, - a good location for many things one can do in Rio. Some nice restaurants around. Our kids liked it, plaid around in the apartment and we enjoyed the day we were able to stay on the beach . The infrastructure is good, and as it appears in the photos. I recommend it even for someone that has some business to do in Rio, and wants quick access to the center, cidade nova, or even Barra where one drives against the traffic in the morning.
