Recommend Elio`s place for various reasons and he has put a lot of effort into adding personal touches to the place ( though he does not live there as a permanent residence ) - having travelled extensively and used both AIRBNB and all classes of hotels in various countries i would say Elios place is very much like a Junior Suite in a boutique hotel. There is everything in there you need to get on with ........ the view is also good from the dining area
We liked the place, the location is excellent if you know where you are going and for us it was just outside the awful tourist area ......... within a stones throw you have the great restaurant PESCA which recommend for their season course menus
One thing though we thought of Elios place is that Junior suite would be the most accurate description as it is basically one open room ("studio" being best word depending on which country of residence you orginate) as the bedroom is the main area of the room with attached living area and then a separate dining and quite small kitchen .... all very clean and functional though ( not a complaint but observation )
Elio met us on arrival and was talkative and very helpful
In a sense i would highlight this as an option for "business travellers" vs a hotel as it gives you your freedom plus a little space for preparing own breakfast and/or snacks and has everything you need to operate .... its also a short stroll to the edge of the business area towards Pombal
