Staying at Thiagos place was an amazing experience, and a place I will certainly stay at again when I next visit Brazil. Starting with the views which were definitely the best ones you will get in all of Copacobana, everyday you can go up to the balcony and see all of Copacobana beach, the surrounding mountainsides as well as Christ the Redeemer. Also, Thiago and his family are very friendly and helpful with anything you need during your stay. Every morning his mom has breakfast ready upstairs for you to start your day and she comes up and asks to make sure everything is alright as well. All in all the place was amazing, the family was very nice and welcoming and the whole experience there was wonderful.
