Antonio is the best host I have met so far in my short experience with Airbnb. He was available for the check-in process, helped me with luggage, and made me feel soooo welcome.
Possibly the only host who says “this is your home; you can use anything.” And this isn’t one of those Airbnbs that are created like hotels. Antonio lives here so it IS his own house. But he isn’t worried if you use his spices or washer or kitchen or anything else.
He made a very cute care package for me and noted all the good spots on a map.
The only thing (and he also makes you aware of it) that may be a problem for some is the way the room has been designed. It’s kind of a “bro-pad” so not really child or elderly-safe or if you are clumsy. He mentions this during the check in process but I still managed to slash my leg thanks to a protruded bed structure. But he also has bandages and stuff available, which was helpful.
I paid the most for this place during my entire Spain/Portugal trip but absolutely loved it. From the little fruit shop downstairs to the rooftop that gets you views of the neighbourhood, everything was good.
Muchas gracias, Antonio.
