AL das Fonsecas

Well located, clean and adequately-appointed room, nice and helpful owners.

there was some noise somewhere in the vicinity from students celebrating during the night we stayed there

The room was immaculate and well equiped. Parking was close by and easy to find. The hosts were welcoming and helpful with excellent local knowledge.

I liked everything!

Host was very nice, he gave us suggestions about the traditional food restaurants. Location was good, there is free parking next to the house.

The hosts were extremely helpful with regard to suggestions on where to go etc. and the room was a good size with its own bathroom and was comfortable. Good WIFI and quiet area, reasonably close to the university for example. Also, previous reviews mentioned the lack of air conditioning- there is now a portable one.

This is not a criticism of the accommodation itself or the hosts, but I agree that it should be made more explicit on the website that this is a room in someone’s house and the owners live there as well. Nothing wrong with that, but it should stand out more in the description.

It’s ok for an overnight stay like we did. Bare essentials are there. Owner was super nice and helpful offering all kinds of information.

It lacks comfort. Just 1 set of pillows on the bed, so you have to prop up against the wall to watch tv or be comfortable on the bed other than sleeping. No AC. Could’ve used a trash can in the room. Shower was tiny (my son didn’t fit) and didn’t drain properly.
