“Disappointing”
+The bathroom is big and it was clean
−The place is difficult to find ... Not even a small sign, a name or a logo outside. Even with the help of passersby in the street it took me half an hour to find the place. And that in a neighborhood that doesn't seem especially safe... The place is spacious but it's empty and doesn't create a welcoming atmosphere. It is noisy because it's located next to a busy road. The floor is swept but yet dirty and the sheets....omg, completely worn and I suspect they hadn't been washed...

“Amazing host, great location. And some shortcomings...”
+The host is absolutely incredible. He was super friendly and helpful. The dorm room is quite spacious and even has AC, which is not super common in Cape Verde. The location is also great--between Plateau with lots of restaurants and the market where you can get public transportation anywhere. It's also close to a supermarket and a market where you can get fruits/veggies, etc.
−The kitchen is absolutely terrible--very few pots, pans, and dishes. (As a single, child-free person, I have more dishes and pots/pans than Cubico Tota has!) Also, it is super hard to find--it is on the top floor of the apartment building... Also, the host said he would pick me up at the airport, but missed all my calls and messages so I ended up taking a taxi to the hostel. While the host is fantastic, but is not very knowledgeable about exactly WHERE in the market you can get buses to go to various places on the island. Finally, there is only ONE bathroom/shower/toilet for the whole hostel so during "busy" times, you'll have to wait to use it...

“Exceptionally friendly owner”
+I stayed in Cubico Tota one week and it was really positive experience. I had everything I needed and the owner was exceptionally friendly and caring about all your needs. He was answering all the questions with a smile and commitment.
−What I didn’t like at the beginning in Praia was that it’s quite busy and noisy city. So if you are choosing the location in the centre you can hear the noise from outside.

“Superb”
+Close to market where I can eat cheap local dish and minivan station for Tarrafal. The guy running this accommodation is polite and very helpful. Apartment is clean and there is security locker. Wifi is fastest during my travel in Africa for more than a month.
−It may be difficult to reach accommodation unless I read instruction carefully. City center of Praia is little far on the hill.

“Superb”
+The pick-up from the airport in the middle of the night (with flight delay) went perfectly well! The apartment setting is simple, still comfy and super clean. A/c in the dorm also, lockers, great wifi, kitchen to share, good location to get around by foot! Big Thanks to the brilliant host Carlos!
