Alda's apartment is beautiful. On arrival we had a care package to help prepare the first night's meal. Priscilla, Alda's daughter showed us everything we needed to know and even carried my suitcase up the 4 flights of steps. Very kind family. Although the family is very generous and caring we were not comfortable with the airconditioning which kept breaking down and at night did not get a restful sleep due to excessive heat and the situation of the apartment. Unfortunately we could not sleep well between the hours of 10:30 and 3:00am due to the rowdy drunks and noisy tourists walking past at night. Although tourists night life is beyond anyone's control and we were experiencing excessive heat with a broken a/c the family was generous enough to send one of their own members in the evening to try and fix it. The position to shops and attractions and the bus and train station was good and within walking distance.
