Guiherme is a wonderful host. He's helped us even before we arrived, and long after we've departed throughout our trip in Brazil. His apartment was cozy with all the amenities we needed; just make sure that if you'll be using the dryer (washer-dryer unit) to leave enough time - our normal load ran a few hours. The apartment is just a few blocks from the Copacabana beach, with shops and eateries immediately available.
