Bernardo was very welcoming to both my husband and myself and had kindly left bread and wine for our arrival. We were both a bit disappointed that the apartment was in a basement and therefore a bit dark. Perhaps we should have known from the photos taken with the lights on, but cv did not convey basement. However, the price was very good for the location, and beautifully clean,fresh and well equipped. The main bed in the bedroom was extremely comfortable but the sofa (a second bed) was obviously not strong enough for my husband who sat on it and cracked two of the spars. Altogether it was a great place to stay in a lovely part of the city, within easy access to places by walking and bus.
I would strongly recommend both Bernardo as a host, and his apartment as a place to sleep in, but not as a place to hang out in during the daytime.
