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.

  Nice Place!! Peaceful

  Absolutely loved my stay here. Beautiful views, comfortable bed, awesome spot. Juliane and her team are awesome. And the dogs are the sweetest. Highly recommended!

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

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.

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 🥰🙏✨💛

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!

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 !

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!

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

  Très bien. Confortable spacieux et paisible. Au contact de la nature avec une belle vue sur la ville. La nourriture proposée est excellente.

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!

  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.

  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!

  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.
