Great place and hosts.
I stayed at Newton’s place for a week and it was perfect for me. Tijuca is a lovely neighbourhood with a lot of character - which is reflected at this apartment. It has an amazing balcony and a nice little pool for the very hot days in Rio.
Very close to the airport by public transport or a Uber ride and so quick to get to the South like Lagoa and Leblon.
I was working from “home” for a few days. The internet is good and the living room a good space to work.
I would definitely come back!
