A casa do Thiago is located on the heights of babilonia, pacified favela close to copacabana. The photos are conform the reality. Great view on the Christ, copacabana and the sea. The favela is safe as long as you behave respectfully by not wearing eccentric and expensive stuffs. Nice place to stay but take into account that the accessibility is either by foot and it is steep or by Moto taxis who are waiting for you at the entrance of the favela.
