It was my first time to book a place to stay on airbnb.com. I was expecting a chance to be more connected to the city I first visited, and to be closer to the culture. And also, Rio was the last stop of my one-month South America trip. I was staying in hotels and hostels for the whole trip, and was hoping to feel "home" on my last city to stop.
I was really lucky to choose Elisa's house as my stay. In my 5 nights stay in Rio I truly felt home. My flight was really late as the day I arrived, I remember the first moment I stepped into the house with Elisa's big hug, I was really touched. In the house I have a big room with big window view, and it was cosy and clean. The house is really near the beach and I could walk to many sight spots.
The Elisa family is very kind to me. They care about my day every day, and on the last night of my stay, they even took me to a movie, and we had a lot of talk about the culture differences. I was happy and felt warm.
Due to the nice home-stay experience, my image of the city Rio was really good. Thank you Elisa, Marcelon, and Julia!
