Luis is a very generous soul with a high attention to guests needs. He has a worked-out system for communicating, which really helps. He completely respects privacy as he also needs that for himself too, but shared conversation in the kitchen comes easy. The room is comfortable and very quiet for the central area of the city, even on St Joao, a night when the native residents are up all night in the streets. You can store food, but it is challenging to cook in the kitchen currently. While everything is clean, the kitchen space is a work in progress currently, but within a short time that will be right, I feel sure, as he is committed to the upgrade. That is the only reason for less than 5-stars, as I had a fine stay here with Luis.
