The apartment: Spacious; even larger than it appears on pictures, CLEAN, for real - which is imperative to me, comfortable, well furnished, well functioning amenities. A pure joy to stay in. Note: If you need complete quiet to sleep, like me, bring good ear plugs. Or buy the 2-pack 3M ones at the Pharmacia do Calvário. They're the best.
The surroundings: Quiet, private, green (beautiful large park across the street), kind neighbors, the most amazing view.
The hosts: Attentive, caring, thoughtful, generous and at disposal. All in all, a gem in every way, and I certainly hope to be back again. This is how it always should be, and exactly the way I need it. Thank you so much for a great stay and the kindness, time and patience you showed me, the both of you.
