Thiago's place was perfect. The location at Leblon had many excellent restaurants around, very close to the beach, and to shopping or laundry places. The 24h reception is extremely helpful, everything is very safe. The apartment is clean and comfortable, the showers/restrooms are great. Thiago was extremely helpful and fast to response, from helping us find restaurants, to tips about safety level of the various neighborhoods in Rio, and helping us with some logistics challenges we had with our passports. I highly recommend Thiago and his place for families!
