We spent 2 excellent weeks in Thais' apartment.
Even though we didn't meet her directly, the whole communication was perfect, and a good friend of her took care of our arrival and departure. Special thanks to Flavio for his nice and helpful tips.

Flat is clean, charming, well decorated. Wifi is ok (about 9MB/1MB).

Neighborhood is calm, but taking the steps makes you less than 5min away from lively streets and restaurants, and 15min away from Lapa.

We'd happily recommend that flat for a young couple wishing to discover something else than Copacabana.
