We stayed with Seppo for New Years Eve and it was absolutely wonderful. He was a fantastic host! There was fresh fruit, water and special champagne flutes as a new year gift waiting for us when we arrived. The room was spacious and clean and the location was fantastic, especially for the New Years Eve celebrations on Copacabana Beach. Seppo's dogs were very calm and friendly but they were never in your way.
Seppo is the real reason to stay here though. He was always available for recommendations, made us a special New Year's Day breakfast because he knew all of the shops would be shut, and was a fascinating man to talk to about his life and the city he now lives in.
We can't wait to come back. This place truly felt like home!
