Anna's place is probably the best AirBnB we've had the pleasure of staying in. The apartment itself is a lot bigger than we were anticipating and the balcony view makes it 100x better! The apartment is stylish and well decorated, it truly felt like home. Every morning I woke up at 7:30am to turn on the water heating before going back to bed for an hour whilst it heated up, so for us, the water heater was no issue at all with a bit of planning!
I loved the fact we had a wardrobe to keep our clothes and suitcases in and the dining table was very helpful for when I needed to work at my laptop and on the odd night where we ate at home. I felt very at home in this apartment and I loved waking up to the most stunning view every morning!
The only thing to be wary of is the very steep hill this apartment is on and the fact you're on the second floor. It's a bit of a work out if you're not used to it and we got tired walking up it - but to be honest, it's so worth it because of how lovely this apartment is.
We met up with Anna's assistant for check in, her English isn't great but my partner is Portuguese so for us this wasn't an issue, she was very kind and didn't keep us for too long, she showed us around and then left very quickly so we could get on with our day.
The apartment was never too cold or too hot but we were sleeping with the bedroom window open to keep it cool at night, and every morning we woke up to the sound of church bells and birds - it was so cosy and relaxing! I loved my stay at Anna's place and was very sad to leave!
