After the initial shock of Augusto answering the door in his underwear :P I realized that the reason I booked this room - the many positive comments left by single, female travelers - was exactly the right one. I felt very SAFE at Augusto's place. He is an easy-going host who truly makes his home your home. The room is beautifully bright and airy and very spacious by European standards, and the bed is comfortable. The house does smell a bit like his dogs, but it's clean and well located in the city. I would certainly stay here again.
