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

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

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

  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!

  The place was beautiful and Ari was very welcoming and helpful. The dogs were super cute as well! Muito obrigada!

  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!

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

  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.

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

  I was looking for a place where I could feel safe, get local experience, and be close to nature. Also, a quiet place to work during weekdays
Well,... read more I got a lot more than that.
This place exceeds the expectation. It's so beautiful and magical. The ambiance, location, and views make this place so special and unique.
Ariel and Juliane add another dimension to the experience. I briefly met Juliane before her Europe trip. She got me introduced to several art&culture groups and hiking groups. It helped me to explore the city in no time. I can call myself a Carioca now 😀
Ariel was always there to address my concerns. He offered his personal phone wifi when there was a brief internet outage. He paid for services when I ran out of cash. Never expected this level of hospitality from airbnb hosts.
Food service is another perk of staying here. Rosy is an awesome cook. She and Terri served delicious breakfast and lunch with professional touch.
The overall experience is very rewarding.

  It was outstanding experience! Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever been to - I’m at least 10 years an Airbnb user - the place is extremely authentic and exotic: the... read more pictures doesn’t make it justice, it looks 10x better. There is a super delicious and healthy restaurant at the place “soul rebel” which you can feed from all meals. The views and history aspects close by and from the place itself are indeed breathtaking. Sugar loaf and Christ the redeemer are just at the corner! The owner Juju is a super woman: a vegan chef, makes 100/100 in hospitality skills and is very friendly and down to earth person. I came in with my baby, Juju made sure to think out of the box. She’d prepared our loft with kid’s toys, diaper changer, baby swimming pool - which was all a great surprise for us. Juju also helped on taxi drivers recommendation! In general, she made us feel at home as part of her family. I will never forget our superb stay with her, and hopefully we will be back many times again!

  THE FOOD....... I went to Soul Rebel without knowing what to expect, The house was super clean and nice, very unique style surrounded by nature and away from Rio's hustle.... read more The view is completely breathtaking and Juliana is not only a great host but also an attentive and kind person...

But most importantly... THE FOOD.. sweet Jesus baby Mary and joseph... This is some of the best, healthiest food I've had, not only in Rio, not Only in Brasil, but in my whole life... I was well nourished for every day and I couldn't believe it was vegan.

Thank you so much, I'll def be coming back at least to eat!

  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.

  Sehr toller Aufenthalt!
Wenn man etwas Ruhe vom Trubel in Rio brauch, genau richtig!
Super schönes Loft!
Gerne wieder!

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

Sound idyllic? That’s because it is! A 30-40 minute walk gets you into the heart of the bustling Bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa with access to the wider city from there. Julianne and Ariel are great hosts. It’s a way of life and not just about hosting. Always on hand to help, offer insider tips and make their guests feel part of the family during your stay. Had a fab morning with Julianne and other guests grabbing some healthy breakfast in Santa Teresa before absorbing the sensory overload of a Carnival Blocco in full swing. Followed by a more sedate ramble through one of the many markets Rio has to offer and buying up all the tropical fruit we could find! Thanks for a great stay guys! Highly recommended!

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

  Great place for a quite retreat ❤️

  Amazing loft with an incredible view on Rio Center. Julianne & Ariel are very nice hosts. A bit far from touristic areas and places to visit but good location to... read more relax away from the noise from the city center (few buses to connect down to Santa Teresa and Ubers do climb up there).

  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.

  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!

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.

  The loft is wonderfully beautiful, Juliane and Ariel (and their baby son) are great hosts who were very helpful and friendly.

  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!
