I was to Acquarela just one night, it was my first time in Brazil and everything was magic. I was in front of Maracanà Stadium, the legend of football and the room service was also very good. I suggest it to everyone who is supposed to go to Rio and I'm also supposed I will be again to Acquarela...

Viajei para o Rio para participar de um Congresso e escolhi a hospedagem pela proximidade ao local do evento (UERJ), mas realmente não poderia ter mais sorte!
- O local é super limpo, organizado, os donos estão sempre cuidando de tudo.
- O café da manhã é muito bom, completo e os alimentos são fresquinhos.
- As instalações são bastante confortáveis, seguras e tudo funcionando 100% (ar-condicionado, ventiladores, chuveiros, cozinha, TV, computadores, etc).
- E pra completar os donos são muito atenciosos, sempre prontos a dar informações e auxiliar no que for necessário.
O único ponto que pode não agradar alguns viajantes é que a localização não é tão perto das praias.
Mas tem transporte para todos os lados, e vários pontos culturais próximos! Além disso, o entorno pareceu seguro, pois o maracanã tem pista de corrida/caminhada e sempre tem gente na rua. Eu voltei vários dias a pé as 20h e é super tranquilo.
Mesmo que da próxima vez que eu for ao Rio seja para ir a algum lugar em outros bairros, certamente escolherei este local para me hospedar. Vale muito a pena!
Parabéns José Carlos e Ricardo!!

We stayed for the second time at aquarela sweet home and it was excellent once again. José Carlos and Ricardo took care of everything. They give you tips about Rio, prepare a wonderful breakfast and are ready every hour of the day (24h if necessary).
We travel a lot and this is the place were we really feel at home!
We are looking forward to our third visit, once in the future.

I have been a backpacker for several years. As usual, I stay in hostels most of the time. Sweet Home in Rio is the warmest home stay I have never met. The hosts are so nice and caring. As they were afraid of our safety at night, they brought us to the carnival venue and told us to call them when we came back. Really warm and sweet.

We enjoyed very much to understand the Rio as well as Brazil from the hosts. They were very willing to share their culture, their thinking to us. Every morning, they made something special (and different) for us as breakfast, which was unique and only available in Brazil. I would like to highly recommend this home stay to you
