Carlo messaged us as soon as we booked with numbers for himself and his nephew Filipe who met us at the apartment and gave us a full walkthrough. Not only that, he gave us several recommendations on where to go and eat.
Had a great time there, felt VERY safe, and it was easy to get anywhere. The washing machine was very welcome after a week of travel. The apartment felt like a calm "home" for us after a day jostling around the nearby markets.
