It was wonderful. The property is unique. It is comfortable, functional, and well designed.
Tiago was outstanding with his explanation of things and was quick to respond when I had a question.
I strongly recommend this neat place!
This is a lovely little house ... it is a steep climb up the cobbled narrow street though . A fair walk from the metro ( very efficient ) and the passing buses on the main road still remained a mystery ( start , bus stops & finish ) - even after six days . Local shops & cafe's, staffed by the friendliest people. Delightful stay.
Das Haus ist von Grund auf saniert, modern und zweckmässig eingerichtet und passt für - wie wir finden - max. 4 Personen. Es könnten noch 2 Leute auf der Ausziehcouch im Wohnzimmer schlafen , aber die Bad- und Frühstückssituation wäre für uns unvorstellbar beengt.
Die Lattenroste der beiden Einzelbetten knarren leider so laut dass man erwacht, wenn man sich im Schlafe dreht.. Die Anbindung an ÖPNV ist sehr gut. Die Buchung und Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin klappte sehr gut. Echt zu empfehlen, wir hatten eine tolle Woche.

La maison est bien située, pas loin du métro et de commerces. Le centre historique est facilement accessible. Le quartier est calme. La maison correspondait tout à fait à l'annonce et était propre et bien équipée.
L'accueil de Carla était super et elle a su s'adapter à nos besoins (chaise bébé) et elle s'est assurée au cours de notre séjour que tout allait bien.
