Vitor might be new in the homestay business but he did it professionally and enthusiastically. The room which I stayed is so clean and comfortable that it makes me feel at home. Although it might not have the luxury of a star-rated hotel, it doesn't lack of real warmth and coziness. Vitor had never failed to prepare me a simple but heart-warming breakfast daily during my stay. Worth mentioning is Lilica, a pet dog which is part of the welcoming committee to usher me into the homestay. It took less than two days for Lilica to get used to me as a guest, and get close to me. Vitor is a good ambassador for Rio's tourism. He alleviated my fear about the high crime rate in the city by offering me tips to stay away from potential troubles. As Vitor was going downtown to handle some paper works, he offered to bring me to downtown with Metro and showed me the various places of attractions. That very small gesture was in fact a useful beginning for my big exploration into the city for the rest of my stay. And you can count on Vitor too on where to get the best street food or fine dining. My only slight regret is that I did not stay a little longer. I will look for Vitor again, if I have the chance to come back to Rio again.
