The apartment is suitable for a short stay in Rio. The view is incredible, being right there on the beach, breathtaking. The apartment itself is confortable, though some improvements could be made - cabinets and closets are a bit dated, the sofa is small and uncomfortable, etc. In any case, most people will be enjoying the city and the beach, and not care for these things. I was with a small baby and working for part of my stay, so these issues were indeed important. There was no hot water when I arrived, but Flávia was aware of this and trying to fix it. In fact, a technician came on our second day and fixed it, with no other problems related to this. I had confirmed that a crib would be available for our baby even before confirming the reservation and then again before arriving. However, the crib was not there when we arrived and I had to insist to get it delivered. Flávia was travelling and I hadn't receive check in instructions even the day before our arrival, nor had she shared her phone number or let me know about the crib not being available. It has hard to communicate with her since she was out of town. We did end up getting the crib eventually and communicating better once Flávia returned to Rio. Though in the beach, Leme is very calm and quiet, which might appear to some people. It was what we were looking for, given we were with a baby, but it's not the most lively part of town and there's a limited number of restaurants/bars and no shops. Overall, this might be a good stay for people mostly interested in staying outside and enjoying the city. The view is great. Our own circumstances implied we had specific needs that unfortunately were not all sufficiently met.
