This is a convenient location with a great host. I stayed here for four nights. Danny knows the area inside out. He kindly offered a lot of travel suggestions that really saved a lot of time on mine. He also helped me book a uber to go to the airport. The place is a few minutes away by walking to the Ipanema beach and Rodrigo de Freitas Lake. I also walk to the botanical garden and Cristo Redentor (about 40 min). There are plenty of food and drink options nearby. It is also very close to metro stations and bus lines, although I never used them. I basically walked around and it worked out pretty well. I had spent a fantastic vacation here.
