Florian 8/10

Germany 🇩🇪

Pros: Lovely easy stay in a family home with 2 bathrooms at the Plateau. Everything is close, eateries and Line 20 Bus to Airport (Yes, it exists and starts on the other side of Papelaria Academica). They also have a cat which is a big asset.

Great location and value

Pros: I didn't stay at the homestay but was moved to Mendes Guesthouse because of some last-minute family issues. This review is about that guesthouse. Central location in Plato. Hot showers. Room layout was thought out well. It had everything I needed, like electric outlets by the bed and a fan. I could leave my luggage when I arrived in the morning, after arranging in advance. Owners spoke good English. Great value.

Cons: There was only one toilet/shower that was shared between 5 rooms. So, if someone was taking a shower, others couldn't use the toilet and vice-versa. It would be better to have separate showers and toilets. Check-in was not smooth. Although I informed my arrival time in advance, there was no one at the door and I had to walk between two properties a few times to check if the owners were in. It would help if the owners sent clear instructions 24h or more before check-in, or at least the wifi password so that guests at the door can communicate with the owners.

Pros: I spent only one night at the Mendeses. They are really warm and welcoming and their apartment really is at the heart of the city. It's a great stay for solo travelers and I believe I will be back once again in Praia. Also Maia their cat is so funny how she demands to be petted 😸

Friendly and comfortable stay in the heart of Praia

Pros: The Mendes family is very nice and easy to communicate with. Their place is amazing for a short stay, you’ll get your room and shared bathroom. The environment is very friendly and you’ll get quick answers to your questions. Everything you need is close and easily accessible by walk. Will definitely stay again when I return to Praia.

Cons: Slight disadvantage was the noise from the main street.

A comfortable and welcoming home!

Pros: The couple who own the flat are really kind and helpful, such a sweet family. The bedroom is comfortable and clean and they prepared me a good breakfast. They also helped answer all the questions I had about the area and organised a taxi for me from the airport. Extremely good value!
