The Reveal

Near LGBTQ+ SceneCozyGreat for Fitness LoversInsta-WorthyRelaxingCentral location

Experience a private room with an en-suite bathroom in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Located within walking distance to both Ipanema and Copacabana beach, offering balcony views of the latter. Utilize the modest kitchen for breakfast, lunch or dinner with a backdrop of Sugarloaf mountain, when you are not enjoying the plethora of restaurants that Rio has to offer. When I am not working, I will be able to show you around the city, as well as give you some great advice on many different spots. My building is one of the most secure in Rio with 24 hour security. We have security cameras in and around the building, but not in the apartment.

I am a Londoner living in Rio for close to 7 years now. I’m a mathematician and a teacher. I live in a brand new apartment in the heart of Rio, so it’s easy to go out around town and enjoy bars, clubs and restaurants. I also love to travel and do when I get the chance.

Thomas' apartment is one of the best apartments on Copacabana beach! The proximity to everything was great and it's in an extremely safe location. Thomas is also an amazing host and went above and beyond with his hospitality! Highly recommended spot 😊

I had a wonderful experience at this property. The stay was very comfortable, the views were absolutely stunning, and the location had super easy access while still feeling private and secure. The building's security made me feel safe the entire time. Thomas, the host, was incredibly friendly and outgoing — genuinely one of the warmest hosts I've met. He was responsive, helpful, and made everything feel effortless. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free stay!

Thomas was a great misterb&b host. The apartment and bedroom+ en suite are super, in a prime location, calm, nice views, clean and tastefully furnished. But it's Thomas who made this a fantastic experience, notably in the way he introduced me to Rio and shared his love for Brazil and its many cultures. Thanks!

I can't say enough about what an amazing host Thomas was and how beautiful his condo is. My husband and I spent 4 nights at the beginning of Carnival and we had an incredible visit. Thomas immediately welcomed us into his home and provided us with recommendations and tips to navigate the city. Being our first visit to Rio this made our entire trip even more enjoyable and we can't wait to return.

Thomas and Isaias are the most welcoming hosts you can imagine. From the very start, both in communicating and in hosting us, they were relaxed, and caring and showed understanding for all questions we had about Rio. Just in 3 days, we were as friends long known, went out for dinner and spent an afternoon together in Ipanema beach. Thomas even made sure we got to the places he directed us to, in some cases even decided to show us))) and we enjoyed his and their company every minute, warmhearted as they both are. The appartment is perfect: the ensuite has a wonderful rain shower and having your own bathroom adds to the privacy. We even found a nice present in the bed when we arrived! 💕 Location: top of the bill, front side Copacabana at the connection with Ipanema, with nice restaurants nearby and two beaches to choose from. Extremely safe feeling, with janitors opening the building whenever you turn up. Swimming pool and jacuzzi at the building, and a sauna and hamam.

PERFECTION! The description of one of the best in Rio is spot on! The location was perfect, the apartment was clean and organized and the hosts are the best! Thomas and Isias are two of the best human beings I have ever met. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was smooth and accommodating. From the quick communication, to the check-in process, to their knowledge of Rio and giving me so many tips and even taking me if they had the time. Very safe apartment and location. All the amenities you could think of, from the gym to the spa. I highly recommend this apartment, you will not regret it. When back in Rio, I will definitely love to stay again. Thank you to the hosts for making this an amazing experience.

I am more than honoured to be the first person to try the apartment of Tom and Isaiah, and quite envious of the next people who will get to share this piece of paradise with them for a few days. At first, I thought it was too good to be true, especially without prior reviews. But they are truly special, will help you and show you around Rio, their house is immaculate, full of commodities (incredible view on the beach, sauna, jaccuzzi, massage robot, very safe entrance with guards, even the shower is perfect) and they are always happy and welcoming with a beer (or a beats cocktail) or with good advices on what to do in the city as a foreigner. Also, the apartment location is very close to the end of Copacabana beach where you’ll get to see the best sunsets! I checked in real early on my first day, it was not a problem to them, and later unfortunately got my phone stolen during the Carnival and they really helped me get back on my feet, let me stay a bit longer and I will forever be thankful for that. I plan to come back next year and really hope to see them and the apartment again. ❤ Thank you forever, see you in Paris & Rio next Carnival.
