Paulo's/Helena's (Paulo's mother?) place is superb! Big recommendation!
Why:
+ own bathroom
+ clean, spacious, and new
+ close to metro/15 min walk from center
+ warm welcome at check-in by Helena
+ plenty of hints what to do by Helena
+ croissant and orange juce for welcome
+ free coffee, tea, snacks
+ perfect communication and offer to contact via WhatsApp with any questions during the stay
Consider for your stay:
- no heating but Helena provided plenty of blankets
- directly at the street so maybe sometimes a little louder
Thank you Helena for your very nice welcome and all the good tips! I enjoyed my stay at yours :)!
