Filipe was a very nice man and a good host. Very friendly. He offered to drive us to the airport for 10 Euro to make our 8 am flight. He was accommodating and spoke good English. We enjoyed meeting and talking with him. He also gave us a small gift.
Our stay, however was not good. The apartment was difficult to get to. The location is in a seemingly unsafe neighborhood. The apartment itself was difficult to get into, we were not given sufficient directions to get inside the building. Lack of public wifi made it problematic and if we did not have an international phone plan, we would not have been able to contact him to let us in.
He posted that the neighbor's cat visits. He also has a cat of his own which never seemed to leave us alone, and this was a problem since one of us has a very bad cat allergy.
The room was far too small for three guests. Barely livable. One flimsy bunk bed and another mattress that pulled from underneath the bunk bed. The place felt dirty. We felt unsafe in our location. Our host's snoring was very audible.
Wifi was good.
Although the price was decent for our stay, would not recommend.
