À da Avó - The Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely and very well decorated. The only small issue was that the street could be quite noisy, so we needed to keep the windows closed and use the air conditioning. Some staff members did not speak English, but they tried their best to help and were very friendly. Breakfast was good as well."
