Cristiano's place was in a great location and within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. We did not need a car at all. He also left us delicious pastries that were excellent for a light snack.
The major disappointment was really the cleanliness of the shower and the lack of response when we mentioned that issue. I even tried to clean it myself using bleach and still paid the cleaning fee. I'm not sure what happened or why he didn't respond once we mentioned the shower. As an owner, I would've responded immediately to a cleanliness issue and tried to do whatever I could to accommodate my guest.
Next time, we will just stay in the Residencia hotel which was cheaper, included breakfast and was still close to many attractions and restaurants.
