Nice Place!! Peaceful

  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!

  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.

  Julianne is one of the most welcoming hosts we have experienced, greeting us upon arrival. Every morning was met with the most amazing views of the city below, and the... read more terrace was where most time was spent in the evening. This beautiful property had a lush pool/outdoor area, surrounded by breathtaking nature and even a mango tree. The hosts' pets were certainly a highlight of our visit, especially Loki the dog who showed us around our first day. We recommend trying the breakfast service, which was thoughtfully curated by Julianne. Our stay was unforgettable, and we hope to return in the future!

  Stunning location, beautiful interior, excellent communication, and great breakfast! Thank you so much!!

  Juliane was a beautiful host! She was so attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The place itself is incredible. It has the perfect balance of beautiful nature and wildlife and... read more a stones throw from the city. Christ the redeemer was literally 10mins in an Uber or a nice hike. The energy of the loft is energising and having the pool to take a dip was so lovely. Don’t even hesitate as it’s actually a piece of paradise. We’ll be back one day 🥰🙏✨💛

  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!

  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.

  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 🤩

  We had a great time beautiful place it was everything we wanted/needed

  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.

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

  We went for New Years to unplug and get a good view of some fireworks. The space is really great and Juju was incredibly welcoming and a great host. It... read more was perfect for us to stay for a couple of days out of the hustle and bustle of the city.

  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!

  Amazing private loft with an incredible view! Juliane and her husband were kind and welcoming. Juliane was great to talk to and provided great recommendations! Puppies were super cute and... read more welcoming too! Sometimes it would take longer to obtain an uber later in the evening since its uphill and roads are narrow. However, reserving the ubers really helped. 10/10 stay.

  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!

  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!

  ESSE LUGAR EH MÁGICO, melhor espaço que me hospedei no Rj !!!! Já quero de novo

  I stayed here for my birthday celebration & it was truly a peaceful experience. I was surrounded by nature & I woke up to an amazing view everyday. I will... read more definitely book another stay when I come to Rio❤️

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

They also make amazing breakfasts.
I highly recommend this place !

  It really is a peaceful, safe, and comfortable place to lay your head at night. And the BATHTUUBB!! 😭🙌🏾 It was wonderful. Well worth the stay. Two things to be... read more aware of:
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.

  Paradies in Rio mit grandioser Aussicht. Weg von der Grossstadt und trotzdem schnell überall. Immer wieder gerne!

  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.

  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 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.

  Muito bem recebida. Local maravilhoso!

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!
