The host is an architect and it shows in the design. Communication and responsiveness were excellent. The location is quiet yet close to the action. There are some nuances I would ask about … there is as no top sheet so no way to cover yourself to sleep, except for a comfortable, which was too hot. They did drop some top sheets after we asked. I guess it’s a custom to not use a top sheet in Portugal somewhat. Also, the shower was tricky. Have the host show you on check in. There’s no air conditioning and you can’t leave the windows open at night because it’s in the 1st floor. Not a problem early September but not good for summer.
