Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rampa do Forte Trivelig leilighet med veldig fin beliggenhet i gamlebyen. Vi har hatt to fine uker her. Det var rent og pent her og etter en uke kom rengjøringspersonell og skiftet på sengene og byttet handduker. Under ligger en meget bra restaurant som har veldig god mat og noen ganger er det behagelig taffelmusikk der med en gitarist eller saksofonist som kan sine saker. Det er et rolig område med lite trafikkstøy og nattebråk. Et par av oss syntes sengene var litt harde, men ellers var leiligheten helt topp. ##### arne b.
