My friend and I spent 4 nights in this apartment. We are women in their 60th traveling from the USA. The host didn’t go out of his way to show us around the house and provided us just the basic information. As a result we experienced issues with a washing machine, and he wasn’t very willing to help us to figure it out. He suggested that we broke it. In reality we finally were able to get the clothes out. Since we were not familiar with the European dryer and couldn’t read Portuguese instructions we needed his help.
Another item is that the drain got clogged, but the host took care of it quickly.
The location of this place was excellent, close to many attractions.
