We only stayed at Bernardo’s place one night. He was fantastic host contacting us beforehand, making sure we had clear instructions how to find his place. We caught a cab straight from the airport and I would suggest that is def the best way to get there - only cost about £10. It is situated in a perfect spot from where to explore the city and very near to where to catch the tourist buses which we used while we were there. He gave good recommendations on what we wanted to do and see and where to eat while we were there.
There is a special way to get hot water for shower which he showed us but didn’t seem to work when I tried it so had a cold shower but it was ok.
He spoke English very well so that was very helpful.
We enjoyed our short stay at Bernardo’s place.
