Thaissa’s place is located in a very safe neighborhood in Ipanema beach. It’s a block from Station 10 beach and a block from all the restaurants and shops. It’s only a 10 minute walk from Leblon’s shopping. From the rooftop, you can see Christ the Redeemer Statue, the 2 irmãos mountains, and the beach. It’s a lovely view! The apartment building offers a restaurant on the top floor and they serve breakfast and lunch. We ate lunch there several times and the food was incredible!!!
The apartment building itself is a residential building which means there could be construction going on during the day. We had a very noisy three days. For those of you who have children, this could mean short naps.
There is a cleaning lady that comes in and quickly sweeps the place, makes the bed, washes the dishes, which made the experience so much more pleasant (specially if you are staying for 2 weeks like we did). We had enough towels that I only had to wash them in the washer machine twice. Note: You will need to bring your own laundry detergent. There’s a couple of grocery stores just minutes from the apartment so it won’t be hard to buy what you may need to make your stay a better one. Overall, we really enjoyed the location, the 24 hour security the building provides, the rooftop views of Rio, and the maid service.
