We enjoyed our stay in Talitas flat. The check-in and communication was very nice and flexible. We felt save in the neighborhood and the building itself. You can easily walk to Ipanema or Copacabana Beach within a couple of minutes. Restaurants and shops are close by. The flat itself looked as in the pictures but was a bit older. One side of the bed was a bit “weak” and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, we would come back to the flat for our next stay in Rio 😊
