marvelous place in cidade maravilhosa: Thank you Juju & Ariel for this beautiful 2 weeks. It was magical! I left with a tear in one eye and a smile in the other. If you just let it be, you will get attached to this amazing place and beautiful humans. Don’t miss out the cooking experience and Yoga Brunch! Both are definitely worth and unique. I just felt like it is my second home, you will feel very comfortable from the very first moment you arrive. Everything is simply beautiful. Juju is caring and helps you out with whatever you need. Jessica keeps the place in shine. As for transportation & accessibility, I never had a problem with Uber. Just pin the pick-up needle on the right side of the street, this makes it easier for Uber to get you a driver very quick. It took always around 6-8 minutes. That’s what it takes you to get an Uber anywhere in Rio. I walked to Laranjeiras and Santa Teresa often, the bus is also an option. I had no concerns about safety. Will come back - promise!
