I spent a week in Rio, partially down in Ipanema and the remainder up in Juliane's place- I got a taste of two different flavours of Rio. If you are... read more looking for a peaceful location, that feels safe and cozy with great views of Rio and don't mind a bit of a commute to get to the city (Getting an Uber was sometimes a bit of waiting game!) then this is the perfect spot for you. One thing to note is that while the apartment itself is your own private space, it is connected directly with the host's family home- so that needs to be taken into consideration. For me, this was ideal- I felt welcomed into Julianes home and her whole family (especially the dogs!) were extremely welcoming. I had a bit of a rough week in Rio, and Juliane went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable despite the setbacks which I truly appreciate. While I myself am not vegan, her incredible vegan breakfasts blew me away- and were the best breakfasts I had in my time in Rio!

  Beautiful space and incredible location!!!

  This place feels just like a dream! Wonderful view, wonderful hosts, wonderful bed. Thanks for everything! 🙏🏻✨

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

  Juliane et Ariel sont de vraiment gentils hôtes. L'atmosphere de leur maison est à leur image, douce calme, amicale et paisible.
Le loft se situe en haut de la maison.... read more La décoration est aussi belle que sur les photo et c'est un très bel endroit pour vivre.
La vue est fantastique!
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!

  Best Airbnb ever! The house must've been some mad architect's fever dream -- meant in the most positive way: the minute attention to detail, the varied design elements, the unique... read more features. Just amazing! The loft is spacious, with an incredible view from the huge balcony. Off the beaten path somewhat, but the wooded surroundings are lovely (and if you wanted to be at the beach you wouldn't be reading this review). Enjoyed hanging with locals at the bar up the road -- sweet people, language gap notwithstanding. Most importantly, Juliane and Ariel are such wonderful hosts...caring, generous, attentive, fun, eclectic, and very smart. A pleasure just listening to them talk about their love for their home and fam, friends and visitors, lifestyle. Like the good old days of vaca rentals, when you could actually make new friends. And I feel I have. Recommend without qualification (and sign up for Juju's cooking class, it's a blast!)

  Loft is amazing, Juliane is a very friendly, nice and attentive host. The house is very welcoming. Thanks for letting me stay!

  Juliane’s place is very idyllic and peaceful, would recommend if you want to go on a retreat and get away from the chaos of the city. We really loves the... read more dogs that came to cuddle every day 🙂
One sidenote is that, because it is quite far, so you will need some more patience getting and uber from and to the airbnb.

  The place is amazing and Juliane was a really nice host. She proposed yoga class as well which actually fits perfectly the athmosphere of the place : quiet, surrounded by... read more nature, beautiful view.
The loft is very well decorated and really confortable to stay at.

  Such a beautiful and unique place. My wife and I loved the stay. Vegan breakfasts are the best ones I tried in my life, I think. If I had someone... read more cook for me like that, I'd be a vegan in a heartbeat.

  Great place for a quite retreat ❤️

  Tout était parfait durant mon séjour, je recommande !

  Quem chega pelo aplicativo Waze tem um pouco de dificuldade de encontrar o local, visto que o aplicativo não o identifica corretamente. Melhor utilizar Go0gle Maps.

Juliane é... read more muito receptiva, o local é bem amplo e confortável. As instalações são novas e funcionam perfeitamente.

Quem está acostumado com colchão mais firme, pode encontrar dificuldade para dormir, pois o colchão é bem mole.

A decoração do quarto é aconchegante e colorida na medida certa.

  Hermoso lugar! Es para quedarse ahí , al ser bastante retirado de la ciudad conviene que el plan sea disfrutar del loft y sus comodidades. Los Uber suelen cancelar por... read more la ubicación. Mi recomendación es hacer una compra general en el mercado y aprovechar para relajarse.

  Juliane était très sympathique et toujours réactive, c’est agréable. Le petit déjeuner vegan en supplément est très bon.
La localisation est un peu excentrée mais la vue du balcon... read more est magnifique.
Le lit est un peu (trop) mou. L’air conditionné fait énormément de bruit, ce qui n’est pas très agréable la journée ou la nuit.
Lors de notre passage, beaucoup de travaux autour de la maison ce qui rendait l’accès à la piscine compliqué (vis-à-vis des ouvriers et du bruit environnant).
En résumé, un bon séjour, un rien trop cher pour ce que c’est.

  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.

  Minha estadia foi perfeita. Consegui estender mais um dia nesse lugar incrível que super valeu a pena. Vim com a minha cachorra, que amou e conseguiu aproveitar muito a casa... read more com o aval da Juju.
O Loft é lindo e exatamente como descirto nas fotos. Mas nada supera estar aqui nesse ambiente tranquilo, com uma vista linda, piscina incrível e recomendo fechar com a anfitriã a alimentação. Mesmo eu não sendo vegana, fiquei apaixonada e maravilhada com a qualidade e sabor da comida.
Voltarei com certeza.

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

  Wir haben uns sofort Willkommen und wie Zuhause gefühlt. Juliane, ihr Mann Ariel & Lindo & Rosi waren wundervoll und total herzlich.
Die Gespräche mit Ihnen haben wir sehr... read more genossen. Danke, dass ihr euch so viel Zeit für uns genommen habt. Wir haben sie sehr ins Herz geschlossen ❤️.
Das Loft ist genauso wie auf den Bildern mit einer sagenhaften Aussicht und viel viel Platz. Das Bad gleicht einer Oase 😊
Wir sind froh, dass wir uns entschieden hatten, dort unsere Tage für Rio zu verbringen. Sehr authentisch, ruhig und sicher. Herrlich ist auch die Nähe zur Natur.
Wir empfehlen auch das vegane Frühstück - es ist mit so viel Liebe und Zeit hergerichtet und schmeckt fantastisch 🤩

  True definition of an Air B & B very responsive host and friendly just would recommend nicer towels / linens. That’s about it

  Nous avons passé 4 jours chez Juliane et Ariel, et avons adoré le loft ainsi que le quartier. Un peu loin a pieds du centre de Santa Teresa, mais nous... read more n’avons et aucun souci à trouver des taxis pour descendre ou remonter. Par ailleurs, il y a un petit restaurant excellent à 100m de chez eux, ainsi qu’un petit bar très sympathique. Le loft est décoré avec goût et la vue est époustouflante. Juliane avait pris soin d’y déposer quelques jouets pour enfants et notre fils était ravi ! Le petit déjeuner de Juliane est juste une merveille. En tant qu’hôtes, ils ont été très réactif et accueillant, nous ont donné de bons conseils et nous ont permis de rester chez eux en attendant notre vol du soir. Si nous revenons à Rio, nous reviendrons chez Juliane c’est certain !

  The loft is just as pictured - beautifully furnished and incredible views. The location is a quiet escape from the rest of Rio. Juju is a very friendly host and... read more very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

  Wow, what an amazing loft high in the hills of Santa Teresa. The place has a wonderful jacuzzi tub and a beautiful Portuguese-tiled pool. Amazing views of Rio and surrounded... read more by the lush tropical jungle and wildlife. JuJu, Ariel, and baby Neo were fantastic hosts. Would I stay there again...YES!

  Wir haben Weihnachten in der Loft von Juliane verbracht und hätten keinen schöneren Ort dafür wählen können. Die Ruhe war nach einer langen Reise genau richtig; auf der Terrasse unter... read more Mangobäumen mit Blick über Rio hätten wir gerne noch paar Tage mehr verbracht. Juliane war immer ansprechbar und hat mir sogar mit einem Problem mit meiner Kreditkarte geholfen. Der Aufenthalt war perfekt!

  Juju is literally one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. She hand makes the vegan breakfast- from the milk to the jam and baked goods. 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.

  Staying here was the cherry on top of our trip to Brazil. The location is amazing, sitting on top of the city with amazing views and a short drive to... read more restaurants and the rest of the city. The loft is gorgeous and very comfortable, and we were treated like family by the hosts. I'm so glad we picked this space and I would highly recommend it!

  Adoro locais com personalidade. Esse tinha muita. Amei demais relaxar na minha própria companhia nesse lar.

  Wow- when I tell you this is the best airbnb experience I have ever had, it’s true. The loft and home is beautiful, private, and offers amazing views. But what... read more was truly magical was the way JuJu and her family welcomed us and made us feel at home. We also had Juju’s vegan breakfast which was hands down the best breakfast we’ve have ever had. I can’t speak highly enough on this home and Juju and her family. It truly made our experience in Rio that much more amazing.

  We had a wonderful stay at Juju and Ari’s place
The flat is beautiful. It is a quiet and peaceful place, perfect to relax while visiting Rio.
Special... read more thanks to the hosts who are lovely and careful.
They also make amazing breakfasts.
I highly recommend this place !
