The room was excellent and looked just like in the pictures. Together with the ajoining living room, it's very spacious, and it also gives you privacy since you can close the doors to the other part of the apartment. It's situated really close to the beach in a nice part of Copacabana. There are some really good botecos close by as well as metro and bus connections.
Guilherme and his girlfriend Aricia are much more than friendly and truly wonderful persons. They also helped us with much of the practicalities which made the stay in Rio so much easier for two gringos who didn't have much of a clue how the carnival works. It would be a pleasure to host Guilherme and Aricia if they ever came to Sweden, and in such case I hope we can make their stay as least half as great as they made ours.
