Thiago and his family made me feel very welcome during my stay. The neighborhood is a very quiet, safe and calm neighborhood in Jardim Botanico. Easy access to bus and metro. Closest metro is botafogo. Reataurants, shops, and markets are all close by with walking distance.

Thiago also showed me around some parts of Rio I had not visited before and took me to activities around the city. Very friendly and very welcoming. If I'm back in Rio I would stay here again.
