The apartment was great, big and it was very cheap, the kitchen was equipped with a bottle of water, fruit, spices, cornflakes, cookies, tea and coffee. In addition, the first evening we got a delicious homemade cake from Bernardo. There were english books, magazines, a first aid kit, towels and a large selection of blankets and pillows. There was also plenty of toilet paper and for women there were even sanitary pads under the sink. Bernardo really goes out of his way to make sure you have what you need and was very sweet in helping us with extra requests like a hair dryer. We were there in the winter, so the apartment is a bit cold and humid on the first day, but can be warmed up well with the air conditioning and another small heater in the bedroom. The area is quite quiet, there is not too much choice for things to do, but we still managed to eat nicely within 15 minutes walking distance and the bus stop is right outside the door. Bernardo is a great host and we had a great time!
