Ricardo and Claire's place was spotlessly clean. We loved the comfortable bed (just watch your head on the beam!) and the soft towels. The lighting in the place was great - this is not always the case in older buildings. They added nice touches to the place, such as bottled water, tea and coffee, and things to snack on. The location in the old town was excellent. The instructions for getting into the place were easy to understand and accurate. The narrow, winding stairs to get to the studio apartment could present a challenge for some but we were used to older places in Europe so we had no problems. We had frequent communication with Ricardo both before and during our time there. That made us feel welcome and comfortable; thank you.
