I spent 7 days here. Thiagos home has a phantastic view of Copacabana and Christo Redentor. You can enjoy it from the hammok on the terrace and even have a seaview from your room. The breakfast is very good. Needless to say, that the room, the bathroom and the kitchen with all other shared areas are very clean and tidy.
You can walk to the beach and the mototaxis bring you back up the hill after swimming.
I totally recommend to stay here. If I come back to Rio I will do so myself.
