The arrival at Thiago's house itself was an adventure for my boyfriend and me but the apartment and especially the view over the Copacabana and the Christ compensates for everything. Thiago picked us up where the Taxi dropped us (Chilli hostel), he helped us carrying the luggage and his family gave us a very warm welcome. Every morning we enjoyed a rich breakfast. The neighborhood was much more calm and friendly than we had expected it - we even felt safer in Moro de Babylonia than we did in many other districts of Rio. At our departure Thiago and also his father helped us with the luggage and calling the taxi. We really loved our five-days stay at Thiago's. He and his family helped us in any kind of request.
