I stayed here seven nights. I do Airbnb quite often and must say I loved this place! The apartment was just perfect - very tidy and well designed. The building was great - as a solo female traveler I felt very safe in the building; the security system was fantastic. I enjoyed the neighborhood, it was safe and right by a major pedestrian stroll and a nice 12-15 minute walk from the very center of town.
Mariana met me and she was WONDERFUL. She did a MAJOR favor for me - I did laundry and set my jeans outside the window to dry and they flew away in the wind into a nearby construction area. I’d recently had knee replacement and wasn’t able to trudge over the barrier, she made a special trip and got my jeans for me. Just so sweet!
BTW, the bar across the street called Vasco Da Gama is incredible! I ate there several times, the staff is so friendly and you can get a full lunch - drink, soup, entrée, dessert and espresso for all of 7 euros. Best deal in town!
