Christopherd, that's what only a wise person can do.....
bad boy billy was pretending a taxi driver knows all the little streets of a city of 9 million inhabitants cause he need babysitter bringing him in front of the building of her apt, even better if in front of the door, possible at the right floor too...LOL
He wrote this:

Damn shame that the taxi driver that day did not know where Rua Almirante Gobcalves actually was....[/QUOTE]
I just told him one word, "Help", cause what bad boy billy did not realize is that Rua Almirante Goncalves is far less than 2 minutes from Help. ( he wrote is old, so maybe 3 minutes instead of 2).
Yes damn shame LOL
P.S. actually there is another option, 4x4 to metro stop uruguaiana, less than 1 euro and you are out of cantagalo stop, down along miguel lemos until one street before avenida, aires saldanha, where you get to right and that's all....yes this is an advanced tecnique only for more experienced mongers who are able to buy and read a map of copacabana or to use google maps....
