I can’t recommend Dan’s place enough! It is clean, modern and well-decorated - he did a great job it. It is very well located on a quiet, residential street minutes away from the action of Ipanema (and also not far from Copacabana). We were traveling as two females and felt safe walking around the area. Dan’s hospitality was truly above and beyond — he was kind enough to courier a forgotten item to me, which I received 2 days after my stay. Look no further for a wonderful host and great stay in Ipanema!
