Rolando’s flat was great. It’s in the perfect area for travelling about, right next to the metro and just a small walk from the sambadrome if you go during carnival. It also has the most gorgeous views over the city. Rolando is a brilliant host, he made bread for us and couldn’t have been more helpful. He has a lot of hints and tips about the city, and also the country if you are travelling around. Couldn’t recommend more.
