Nice little apartment in Leme district, nothing fancy there, does the job for the money, the host is very nice and speaks english well enough (quite rare in Brasil from my own experience),
a few things though :
-the apartment is located on a small hill, you'll have to climb a steep road to get there, nearest metro station is 25 min from the apartment, and beach about 10 min, not a big deal if you're in good shape,
-the district might look a bit dirty on some aspects (dogs marking their territory, huge stacks of trash piled up on the street)
-the most negative thing in my opinion is the water heating system for the shower, Brasil is a warm country, and most apartments don't have a boiler and instead have a warming showerhead powered by eletricity, this apartment is no exception, here, the circuit breaker is inside the shower, wires are right above the showerhead and connections literally above your head while taking shower,
still had a good exp, but the shower situation msut be fixed
