Paulo met us promptly , and took us up to his ideally located bright cheerful one-bedroomed flat, - up quite a few stairs on the 2nd floor. It was newly re-painted white, floors simple sanded boards, delightfully high ceilings. Kitchen is new, but rather sparsley equipped. Bathroom a little older, but clean and in good order. The bed was comfortable, but lacked a headboard, having a table in the window in place of a headboard, so we kept loosing our pillows in the night, this was only a minor annoyance though. The lounge sofas were well worn, but comfortable, one was , I think, a sofabed. Of the four antique dining chairs, two were broken and un-usable, but it didnt matter for us, since we were just a twosome. The table mats were peculiar and sort of frilly hat-shape, so you couldnt easily put a plate flat on them. The hot water was not operational, and it took 24 hrs to get it working, the water heater needed a new component fitting, so a plumber had to come, arranged without undue delay. Some noise from street bar nearby.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again, by which time I am sure the teething problems would have been sorted.
