Tiago & Gabriela couldn’t have done more to make us welcome! Tiago picked us up from the station as we were arriving at night, and showed us the city highlights by car en route to the flat, where a lovely little bottle of port was waiting for us next to a little Christmas tree!
The flat was as described & pictured, very clean, with great wooden floors. It's in a peaceful part of town, so there was no noise at night. We mostly walked to and from the centre, but it's only 10 mins from the nearest metro stop.
The beds were super-comfy, which is really important, and the bedrooms had lots of natural light.
The kitchen had everything you’d need for cooking, and our hosts had also thoughtfully provided tea, coffee, milk and eggs, in addition to basics such as salt, pepper, oil - we were only there for 3 nights, so didn’t really cook, but it was good to know we could.
The rooms were warm and cosy, with very efficient radiators (on a timer, but you could also put them on & off at will), except for the bathroom/kitchen area, which is in a colder area of the flat and a little chilly. However, there was an air-heater in the bathroom that took the edge off. So that was the only slightly negative thing - but it would definitely turn into a positive thing if you stay there in summer!
We had a great stay - thanks again to our wonderful hosts!
