Response from the owner
So happy you all had a lovely time, and enjoyed your stay at my apt. I know most people only have one or two holidays per year, so I feel it is important to make them as great as possible. I do hope you can come again, perhaps to one of my others in Sal or Boa Vista!

A lovely review from a lovely guest. Thank you Jess, it will be very helpful for future guests and I look forward to welcoming you again next year (or when you need a top up of sun, sea and sand)!!!! I hope you liked the 'pink' replacement kettle that we gave you...? Unfortunately, it was the only colour they had in stock!!
