Pros:

Besonders der Umzug in den 2.Stock, den Paulo uns ermöglicht hat. Appartment ist schön groß, wir fanden es gut, dass es ältere Möbel (Holz) sind, ist nachhaltig.
Die Lage war optimal, diverse Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, diverse Restaurants. Div. Aluguers (ab und zu mit langen Wartezeiten).
Waschmaschine ist vorhanden, aber Achtung: Wäsche nicht bei starkem Wind aufhängen und ein paar mehr Wäscheklammern wären hilfreich.

Cons:

Die Küchenausstattung: Alutöpfe sollten eigentlich nicht mehr zum Kochen verwendet werden. Gasofen hat aber gut funktioniert.
Balkontüren sollten abschließbar sein.

Estadia em Tarrafal de S. Nicolau
Pros:

A água do duche tem boa pressão e aquece bem.

Cons:

Não tinha ar condicionado, nem ventoinha.
O calor à noite era insuportável.
Quando a fábrica de conservas está a funcionar o cheiro é horrível.

Passable
Pros:

The location is very good.

Cons:

The apartment was very dirty, with a layer of dust on the appliances and furniture. The window didn't close well and the dining table chairs are made of plastic.

Well equipped spacy apartment with a very nice and helpful host, just a few steps to the beach, or minibus stop.
Pros:

A spacy apartment with a terrace, a view, in a well and individually designed house:) Felt like a home right away.

Disappointing
Pros:

The apart hotel was well positioned related to the small village of Tarrafal but not so much things to do in the surrending.

Cons:

The apartment was not cleaned, at least there was a lot of dust everywhere.
The spring mattress was really bad probably never changed since decades.
The apartment it's closed to a valley and there is a lot of noise of the wind which whistle all the night. (really hard to sleep well)
