It makes a difference when you have a host staying in the same building. Isabel is one of the sweetest and warmest people I’ve met and I feel quite lucky to have found this unit. From the very beginning she greeted me with Ginja and pulled all the stops to make me feel comfortable. Admittedly I did not realize she was the owner when I first arrived but we spoke on a daily basis in person and via WhatsApp (she has a translation feature on her WhatsApp so she is able to respond quickly in English). I don’t speak Portuguese and Isabel does not speak English but we understood each other when speaking in person (with or without the help of her translation app). I attribute this to Isabel’s genuine good nature and warm spirit. If you want to understand someone, you will 🙂 The unit is just perfect for a soloer or 2 people. The bathroom is a little on the small side but I got used to it quickly. It was stocked with everything. When my friend joined me two days later, she loved the space as well. We slept comfortably in the bed. She brought us fruit and a bottle of wine and she even sang me happy birthday on Portuguese during an impromptu gathering (orchestrated by my friend) which included 2 other lovely guests staying in a nearby unit. My heart is still full from Isabel’s sweetness!
