Cute place, and well-situated for exploring. The noise from the bars was ok as long as the windows were closed, but loud partying continues until about 3am on weekends, so bring earplugs if you're fussy. An in-person meeting is required in order to fill out paperwork and get keys; if you're traveling internationally, make sure you have phone access when you arrive, in order to contact the hosts. Airport wifi didn't work for us at all, but a local sim card can be purchased at the airport for 10 euro, and is well worth it if you want to use What'sApp and Uber while you're there. Madalena checked us in and she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The apartment was clean, and looked just like the photos, with all the amenities advertised. The kitchen is stocked with nespresso pods for brewed coffee and nescafe for instant. Tv has expanded cable channels and there are remotes on both levels for heating and cooling (I didn't use them, but my friend did and said they worked fine). I easily found everything I needed except ice cube trays, clothespins for the laundry line, and extra blankets and towels. To be fair, I never asked for these items, so they might just have been hidden away somewhere. Hosts left a hair dryer upstairs, and one extra roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, plus some oil and vinegar in the kitchen cabinet, which was nice. Only negative worth mentioning is that when we arrived there was a strong sewer gas odor in both bathrooms, worse in the upstairs one, (which also smelled mildewy) and the hot water upstairs was also a bit dodgy , so we ended up sharing the downstairs bath. We covered the drains and kept the doors closed, and the smell got a bit better on the 2nd day; it seemed to come and go, maybe due to rain? Also, twin beds are quite narrow and firm, so maybe not the best for couples or fat people, but being fat myself, I brought an inflatable pad which worked well. (Upstairs couch would also have been an option). Overall, we had a 5-star stay, and I would definitely recommend this charming and colorful little duplex to anyone who has read the reviews carefully, and arrives with realistic expectations. Many thanks to the hosts!
