Our request was very last minute and the host was very happy to host us. Checking in was very easy, she made proper arrangements even while she was out of town.
Place didn't look as great as it looks in the photos posted here. Bathroom will give some of you a bit claustrophobia. They don't have central air or heating and only had one heater and we later discovered the 2nd heater was hidden away in one of the shelves in the bedroom but it was very dusty - host apologized and explained to me she didn't get to check the place herself after the cleaning people, so it was not that big of a deal even though one of us had to spent 2 nights without heat. Some part of the place was dusty but i hope to have a better stay in Portugal next time.
Overall stay was okay.
