Over many years of Airbnb-based travel we’ve had many great experiences. None better than Dino & Ines’ warmth and hospitality. Well before we arrived, during, and after they gave us great suggestions which we will use as we spend a month in Portugal. The apartment in that ancient city has been lovingly renovated with Dino’s civil engineering experience and oversight. You won’t find a better layout, bed & pillows, bathroom anywhere. The kitchen was completely stocked with pots/pans/appliances including an espresso coffee maker with fresh ground coffee all ready for us. Really no detail was left out. Ines had baked a delicious cake and they left local delicacies including a nice bottle of wine and local bread so that we could relax immediately. The private terrace was large, and cool, even on hot days. This will be important if you travel during warmer months.
The location was perfect. Outside the oldest section of town with it’s swarming tourists, but minutes away from all the interesting areas. Excellent restaurants in the very near vicinity and a couple of grocery stores. We came as strangers and left as friends with Dino & Ines. Bravo!
