This was my first Airbnb experience. I originally wasn't expecting much from the listing as I am a regular business traveler staying at chained hotels. However, the moment my siblings and I met the Bomfims, we felt welcomed...beyond expectations.

First impressions: The place is very very clean and homey. The neighborhood is really nice within walking distance to various restaurants, bars and attractions like Botafogo beach, a perfect place to take a stroll in the mornings. The building is very secured with 24/7 security staff welcoming you.

Second and Third impressions: We all loved the place and really feel like home. We enjoyed the little balcony with awning that overlooks the backyard and the wall of a hill behind the building.

The Host: Having a great host is the biggest part of the experience, especially for those who have never visited Rio de Janeiro or Brazil in general. The night we arrived, the Bomfims happened to be available to join us for dinner. In fact, they led us and introduced us to a nice family restaurant nearby which has Italian influenced Brazilian culinary. Over the course of just one night stay, we felt that we have bonded very well with the Bomfims. There is only one word that can describe them...that is 'Family'.

The next time we are in Rio, this will be our only choice of accommodation. ขอบคุณครับที่ให้พวกเราอยู่อย่างสะดวกสบายรวมถึงการได้พาพวกเราทุกคนไปเที่ยวด้วย คิดถึงมากครับ
