Paulo was a fantastic host.He was more than helpful, super devoted and caring.He waited for us to arrive, although it was late (and delayed) at check-in, he went through all the things we could use and things he made available for us, he had instructions manuals, ..... Very well organized with a human touch. He provided a explicit and comprehensive list of things to do and see, recommations for restaurants and bars, beaches, hicking trails, ...As for the place, it is bigger than expected which was a nice surprise. We slept well, we were comfortable throughout our stay. It was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and the interior is recent, bright as per pics.The location : the VRBO is close to Ribiera Grande, which itself is the 2nd biggest city on São Miguel Island. Easy access by Taxi/car, but also by public transportation, although you have to time/plan properly with busses as they don't run that often. But once in town (Ribiera Grande), there are shops, beaches, restaurants, .... Rabo de Peixe has also quite a bit to offer. We once had lunch at a nice chocolate bar in Rabo de Peixe - within walking distance - with delicious freshly made sandwiches and much more. Walking distance to some restaurants also.Overall 5 stars to the hosts, the property and the location.
