The neighborhood is great and the space is very nice if you like a sterile hotel atmosphere. This was our first experience staying at an airbnb that is a full on business (the owner proudly stated they have 55 properties), not someone's home, or second home. Nothing about the place or reception was personal. No interest in who we are, what is important to us about our visit, no bottle of wine or baked goods to great us like other experiences, no sense of home, which for us, is what makes airbnb so special. We did get long explanations about how to use a microwave, dishwasher and other ordinary household appliances. Daniele was very nice and the apartment was very nice, but it was a rather souless experience compared to our other stays in Portugual and other countries.
