Connie's apartment is nice and the location is absolutely lovely! There were, however, some hiccups: the person who contacted us (not Connie, a man called Wang) barely spoke Portuguese, which made our contact somewhat stifled. We promptly started communicating in English, but since we're Portuguese people in Portugal, I would expect our hosts to know the basics.
The beds, bathrooms and surfaces were really clean, but the apartment has literally one towel per person — meaning that there's no hand towels in the bathrooms, no napkins, no paper towels, not a single cloth to wipe the table. The rug outside the bath tub was stained and torn, but all the other linens were fine.
Overall, we had a good stay. With some small improvements, this could really be an incredible space to spend a few days!
