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!

  A tranquil, beautiful retreat from the intoxicating Rio craziness. On the edge of the Tijucu rain forest, expect to see Toucans visit you in the haze of the morning and... read more exotic butterflies flitting between trees as you munch on your tropical fruit breakfast. 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!

  My wife and I had a great time staying in Santa Rosa! Juliane made everything easy and gave us helpful tips about everything.
Incredible value. Easy drive to Copacabana and... read more Sugar Loaf, very close to Christ the redeemer.
Highly recommended!

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

  I used this place as a writing retreat and had the greatest time! It’s peaceful and calming - not even the rainy days of Rio could bother me. The view... read more was spectacular and if you are a dog person, you are in for a treat!

Uber will take a while to pick you up, though. So you might want to plan leaving a bit ahead or call a cab. Juliane was very helpful in getting me one for the airport, as well. 10/10.

  Great place for a quite retreat ❤️

  We had a fantastic stay, Juju was extremely kind and welcoming. The house is beautiful and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of central Rio. Only downside was... read more that it was a bit difficult to get Ubers up in the hills. But, Juju was very forthcoming and helpful about how best to get transportation.

  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!

  Juliane et son mari m’a vraiment bien accueilli, je me suis sentie comme à la maison. Le logement est vraiment bien décoré !

  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!

  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!)

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

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 🤩
