"Der Check In war gut, Gastgeberin und ihr Mann sind Herzensmenschen. DIe Lage ist zentral in Praia Vitoria. Im November ist das Haus kühl, wir haben gefroren. Die Gastgeberin stellte uns kleine Heizgeräte zur Verfügung, diese schafften es jedoch nicht warm zu machen. Wäsche waschen ist problematisch weil die Tür der Waschmaschine jahrelang geschlossen ist und dadurch „stockig riecht“, wir rochen dann wie nasse Hunde. Wenn es regnet sind die Fensterbereiche und Türbereiche (zur Wetterseite) nass...
