Alex is a wonderful host. His communication was clear and and quick. He is willing to help out and make your stay easy and comfortable in all ways. He is generous with sharing info and suggestions.
Alex’s place is located near enough to everything and there is plenty of public transportation if you don’t want to do the 20-30 minute walk to get to the heart of the old city.
I highly recommend Carmo Convent. The beautiful remains of a church whose roof disappeared from an earthquake in in 1755.
Lots to explore and taste in this city.
