We loved staying in the townhouse! Antonio was very responsive to all my requests, including changing the configuration of the downstairs rooms to accommodate 2 couples, instead of one. The listing is a bit confusing, but Antonio answered my questions about the layout promptly. When I asked if there was an iron and hair dryer available to use, he brought them there for us! His mother greeted us upon arrival and let us store our luggage while the place was being cleaned after the previous guests left. The Bairro Alto neighborhood was wonderful - lots of little streets to explore, many restaurants with great food and prices. Two, in particular, were outstanding: Found You (all types of great fondue, including a dark chocolate dessert to die for) and Calcutta 2 - good Indian food, very reasonable prices, and fun atmosphere.
Our only issue was that originally there were going to be 8 people, and when I emailed that we were going to be 10 instead, he evidently did not realize that a change had occurred. This resulted in us having to pay an additional fee for the 2 extra people. It didn't cause a big problem, but it was uncomfortable for me to have to tell my friends that they owed more money than originally charged.
