I stayed in Thaís's flat for 6 nights during Carnival and we all had a great time. The flat is bigger than it looks in pictures and comfortably accommodate 5-6 people. The building is safe and secure. Leblon is a beautiful, safe neighbourhood in Rio with great cafes and restaurants - all walkable from the flat. While it's only a 15-20 minute walk from central Ipanema, it has it's own thing on and it's a welcome reprieve from the busy city. Would gladly stay here and recommend to family and friends.
