D3553 : More than Just Bed and Breakfast

Among the many other pleasant characters that define this pacific island nation, amazing hospitality is one shining badge that Filipinos proudly wear at all times. As bright as its tropical sun and as gentle as the ripples of its cerulean shores, the Filipinos’ concept of hospitality always extends to treating guests as a family more than just a tourist on a holiday.
This virtue is what D3553 B&B holds dear to their service. Located at Durango Street in Makati, this small bed-and-breakfast place is a joyful choice for international backpackers seeking the comfort of a Filipino home in a safe and convenient location. In alliance with AirBnB, D3553 hosts you on budget-friendly rates without compromising a 24/7 warm service. It lives to its community’s goal of giving each guest that sense of belongingness, anywhere in the world.
 You Got a Family
Guests at D3553 are hosted by the lovely Francisco family. Although primarily ran by Dominique, a young and go-getter world traveler, her Papa Jun can also bring you around on a motorbike and her Mama Amy can make you coffee over stories of Philippine art, culture and history. There’s Tintin and Migo, the foodie and partyphile siblings who can overload you with Filipino favorites from awesome food to heart-thumping night-outs. And oh, there’s this kid named Jaze who will outwit you with his kick-ass questions and 5th grade antics.
Dominique works in a social enterprise and a nomadic sun worshipper by heart.
The Francisco Family. Your Filipino Hosts—Artsy, Foodies, Wanderers, Cool
As backpackers, we all know that one of the hardest realities we face on the road is accepting the fact that we have to leave friends and families we meet on our journey. The Franciscos’ are definitely one of them.
At D3553, it’s always a family thing. They’re happy to help you with anything Philippines.
And if Dominique’s free, she will join you in your discovery of the fantastic sights around.
