I had a chance to go to Rio for a few days during my last stay in Brazil and I stayed in Taissa's apartment.
The apartment is exactly what pictures show: new, clean and comfortable.
Besides being in a charming neighborhood, it was also very convenient. There are all facilites close to the place and subway to center is very fast, 4 stops from Largo do Machado. I definitely recommend Taissa's place for business or tourism.
Thaissa is a great host too. The communication was very easy and her mom helped me out when she was not around. Thank you very much! We will come back.
