"Not for us"

5.0

Pros - Clean - Host did our laundry for us which was nice

Cons - Passive aggressive messages from host - Atmosphere created wasn’t relaxing or welcoming. - Being told off when requesting new towels was odd especially as rules stated if you want new towels just ask - air condition in the bedroom was controlled by the host - Misleading advert not stating live in host

"Consigliatissimo!!"

10.0

The house is really new and clean. The position of the house is good to visit the island by car. We have the room and the bathroom outside the room, but it's so close; everything at the second floor. Everything is perfect organized by the host, all the space of the kitchen and all our needs. Carlos is really kind. He gives us a lot of advices about place, trip and resturant. He was always in contact with us for everything. He also give us some typical cakes from the zone to taste. We appreciate a lot his attention.. We feel like home. Thank you very much Carlos!!

"Functional, comfortable clean house."

10.0

Quiet. Tidy. Safe. Comfortable. Well maintained. Functional common kitchen and lounge. Close to a beach. Owner respected our privacy and was low profile.

Could do without the smell of the toilet bowl freshener/dispenser... small point.

"Quiet place, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, a good place to stay and end 4 weeks in Azores"

8.0

We ended our 4 week trip in the Azores at Amateur Runners. The previous 7 days we didn't have a kitchen so we really enjoyed preparing most of our meals again in the well equipped kitchen. We greatly appreciate a quiet location and a comfortable bed.

After a day of physical activity (hiking, swimming/snorkeling), we enjoy watching/streaming a movie before sleep. The wifi was mostly good but on 2 evenings it was too weak or it shut down. The (friendly, helpful) owner/host seemed aware of the problem and I expect he will find a solution.

"Fantastic place with a great location and the best host ever"

10.0

Everything was perfect, the amazing view from the room, the sound of the ocean and birds in the morning but most important warm and welcoming host Carlos. What also was exceptional is how clean and well organized was the whole house. We really felt at home there.
