I really enjoyed staying at their place. I was concerned about being cold there in February because they don't have central heating or a portable heater, but the windows are insulated and Carla provided me with an extra thick blanket. So I wasn't cold. The place was very clean and shower worked well. It just had a fowl smell coming from the drain but I have noticed that in other accommodations in Portugal. The apartment is small but it was perfect for me, a solo traveler. Carla was responsive and kind.
