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

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

  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!

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

  O apartamento é lindo, tudo estava bem limpinho e tivemos dias ótimos. Não tivemos problemas com uber - pedindo black ou comfort sempre - a área é segura e os... read more anfitriões são super gentis sempre à disposição para ajudar. E de fato, que delícia de café da manhã! Obrigada Ju, nós amamos 💛

  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!

  Myself and my son had a wonderfully relaxing stay and I would definitely come again and recommend to my friends.

Julianne is an incredible host who genuinely puts... read more a lot of thought and care into sharing the community lifestyle she has created. We were served a lovely vegan breakfast, had a wonderful massage and jacuzzi bubble bath and deep sleep in a very comfortable bed. Total decompression after a long flight!

The Loft is hugely spacious and stylishly decorated, set up above Rio in the lush and peaceful green area of Santa Teresa.

The only downside was we felt slightly stranded as sometimes taxis and Ubers were difficult to order and a bit disappointed that the swimming pool was out of action. However, everything else made up for this.

  One of the most enjoyable airbnb trips! Warm welcome of Juju and her family, delicious healthy breakfast and tastefully decorated loft with an incredible view made it for an wonderful... read more stay! Thank you Juju! Would love to come back!

  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).

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

  Beautiful space and incredible location!!!

  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.

  Muito bem recebida. Local maravilhoso!

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

  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 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.

  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!

  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 🥰🙏✨💛

  Gratidão Juju e Ariel pelo acolhimento em seu maravilhoso espaço, um paraíso no meio de Santa Tereza, mas "Santa" foi a ideia de vocês em criar esse cantinho aconchegante, confortável,... read more elegante e acolhedor, de ótimo serviço e instalações, a paz no meio do Rio de Janeiro, com vistas maravilhosas, muito verde e pequenos mimos como a visita do maestro Tucano, que com seu canto e beleza encanta, realmente tudo muito charmoso. E para agregar ao serviços a culinária é divina, com sabores e aromas dos deuses. Agradecidos pelo carinho e mimos que nos presentearam. Super indicamos o espaço.

  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.

  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!

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

  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.

  Peaceful place to be

  Great place for a quite retreat ❤️

  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!

  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 !

  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.

  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.

  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!
