Thiago's Mother met us at the drop off point and was very warm and welcoming. We arrived at 6.30am already but this wasn't a problem and they already had breakfast prepared for us.

The views were just incredible! The pictures are amazing but still don't do it justice. The neighbourhood was a pleasant and vibrant community of Brazilian families.

Overall the stay was everything we hoped for and more. The breakfast and views from the terrace was a particular highlight (If you get up early enough you may have monkeys for company as we did). If we come back to Rio we won't think twice about staying here again.
