Beautiful space and incredible location!!!

  This is the most special place I have stayed - a perfect place for a retreat to rejuvenate, write, reflect, enjoy, heal, expand. Juliane is amazingly helpful and open... read more while also respecting whatever space you may need. This loft is beautiful, with a view that touches your soul. I loved every minute. Juliane also helped coordinate a fabulous massage for me, cooked me great vegan tacos, made my stay easy, and her gratefulness and expansiveness is contagious! I ate at the little local restaurant right down the way and made friends there. The world is small but full of big kindness - this place celebrates that!

  Peaceful place to be

  My stay at the loft space at Soul Rebel was an absolute dream. I needed to rest after very long travel from a forest village in the western Amazon... read more to Rio, and ended up just spending 2 full days enjoying the spaciousness, the amazing views, and the lush vegan culinary delights delivered to my table by Rose.

Everyone was delightful and eager to ensure I had a the best stay.

Thanks very much Ju, Ariel and Rose.
I hope to stay with you again sometime.

  Nós passamos uma excelente estadia no Loft da Juju!
Fomos acolhidos com muito carinho por uma família com um engajamento e propósito lindos!
O lugar é calmo, a decoração do... read more casarão é única e de muito bom gosto.
Em uma parte do Loft tivemos uma vista panorâmica para a cidade do Rio e outra parte para a natureza. (O ponto alto é o Jacuzzi que dá a impressão de estar tomando banho no meio da mata).
Não deixe de experimentar o café da manhã da Juju. Cada dia tivemos uma nova surpresa e a gente ficava ansioso pra descobrir o menu do dia. Uma verdadeira explosão de sabores com ingredientes locais escolhidos e preparados com muito amor pela mente criativa da Juju!
Foi uma experiência única e sem dúvidas voltaremos em nossas próximas estadias no Rio! Merci beaucoup Juju e família! ♥️

  Awesome place, extremely friendly host! Must visit if you are staying at santa teresa! Would definitely go back.

She also super friendly... read more and offers helpful advice such as cab apps and lowkey beaches. The property and space is authentic and feels very homie, the hot tub was very hot and great. Only con is that Ubers will cancel often due to distance up the mountain/road construction during the day. But the location is peaceful and beautiful.

  This is not classic pay-per-sleep place. This is a place where you come as a stranger and leave as a friend. What makes difference are people. Juju and Ari have... read more wonderful family and they made harmonic and peaceful oasis, where you could be a part of it. They were always here for us, and help us in one very stressful situation. After a day spent in hectic jungle city of Rio it was perfect experience to drink beer and watch city lights from terrace, or to wake up in very soft comfortable bed in shadow of bamboo trees, or just to play with cute friendly dogs. Be surrounded by all those nature and wonderful people helped us to charge our batteries again. Only minus is that we couldnt stay longer. One advice for other guests: Bring your mosquito sprays, it could help a lot!
Thanks Juju and Ari a lot and we hope to come again!

One sidenote is that, because it is quite far, so you will need some more patience getting and uber from and to the airbnb.

La maison est située sur les hauteurs de Rio, avec l'avantage d'être plus au calme et à l'ecart du bruit de la ville.
Un très bel endroit!

  We had a wonderful stay at the loft. The place is beautifully restored and decorated and the views are magnificent. Juju is such a great host, always responsive and so... read more welcoming and friendly. We opted for the breakfast each morning, lovingly made by Juju, and it was one of the highlights of our trip- highly recommend.

Getting to the property is straightforward; we took an Uber from Leblon. We found that the yellow taxis were a little hesitant to go into Santa Teresa but Ubers are fine and affordable. The hills are very steep but the Uber drivers are used to them. Even in the rain which is quite an experience !

We would definitely come back to stay with Juju if we are lucky enough to return to Brazil.

  Juju’s place was absolutely stunning- we had a very lovely stay- thank you so much!

  If you're looking for a place to stay in Rio to enjoy the jungle and replenish your soul, this is the place for you. Juju has created a beautiful home... read more that offers guests a stunning and comfortable stay. You'll start your day by waking up to the sounds of the jungle and being greeted by the dogs. We recommend taking a cooking class; the Flavors of Brazil class was our favorite because we learned how history impacted the foods locals eat. The rest of the trip we could recognize dishes at restaurants and understand their origins. So cool! Juju made sure we had everything we needed and suggested amazing alternatives for when rain cancelled our plans. This enabled us to keep away from crowds, interact with locals, and see the city from a unique perspective. And soaking in the bath after a day of exploration was the perfect way to wind down for the night. The home and community that Juju has created and shares every day with her guests is truly what made our trip memorable! Thank you Juju!

1) Coming in after the front entrance is locked. Make sure to take the plastic thingy off the key pad, or else it won’t work. It wasn’t in the instructions so I had to bang on the door. 😬 Sorry.
2) When Ubering, copy and paste the address from airbnb app into Uber. Apparently, there are different neighborhoods that have the same address. Remember what the front of house looks like to help guide your drivers to the right place. Could never pinpoint the exact location.
Otherwise, fantastic place to stay.
