Found: Carnaval Hostel in Rio De Janiero
www.casa6ipanema.com

Here is the hostel we are staying at for 6 nights in Rio (Brazil). The trip is coming up in February, so we didn't have much time to spare! It is a pretty good deal - $225/person - with the only downside being the tight sleeping arrangments (triple bunk beds). I imagine this place is none-too-big, but for a group of budget travellers during the peak tourist season--it's perfect. Thanks to Tom for helping me hunt online and ultimately finding this gem, and thanks to Joe for fronting the cash that needed to be wired down there to secure our reservation!
