“Great spot to spend a couple of days exploring the city”
+Great location and a comfortable bedroom with AC. The host was super helpful, by picking us up from the airport and dropping us off the following morning. A great breakfast on the guesthouse terrace, served by a super sweet lady.
−Nothing of note, but having a mosquitoe net on the bed could have been useful.

“Great location, amazing breakfast, super host, but water issues...”
+The breakfast was outstanding with lots of fruit, as well as eggs and bread. Just delicious. The manager was super responsive--he always responded to texts within minutes. Additionally, he gave me a ride to/from the airport. He also helped set up hiking up Sao Tome Peak. WiFi was good and reliable. It is also within walking distance to downtown Sao Tome and lots of stores and restaurants. Bed was comfortable.
−Most of the time I stayed there, there was no water. (I was not able to take a shower the whole time I was there...). Additionally, the shower and floor were not very clean. Also, I paid for a tour of the island, but found it to be overpriced--especially since there was no cacao tour--even though that was supposed to be a part of the tour...

“nice for a short stay”
+Location was close to my workplace. Breakfast was the best I could expect and the manager was helpful with advice and airport pickup, clean and friendly
−Water pressure was low and the room was very small, which is fine if you stay 1-2 nights but I ended up staying much longer. But for a short stay it's very good

“Excellent Communication, Hospitality, and Location”
+- Excellent communication with Waldimiro via WhatsApp. He was always available for questions and was flexible. He proactively asked me if I had arranged a tour before I arrived. - Free and easy airport pickup. Waldimiro was on time and proactively sought me out, asked if I needed a SIM card, and helped me exchange money before we arrived at the guesthouse. - Wonderful breakfast with lots of fruit, water, coffee/tea, smoothie, bread, yogurt. Some days I received an egg and some days I received a plate of cheese. A friendly lady served breakfast in a clean outdoor area. - Small room, but the AC worked well and the WiFi was good (in the bedroom, not so much in the breakfast area). Great hot water. The windows are small, but there is a screen door to help with ventilation. Toothbrushes and toothpaste were available in the bathroom. - Great location and very secure building 5-10 minutes walk from downtown
−- Very bad water pressure. Sometimes it was barely a trickle, sometimes the water wasn't on at all. The water was off three times in one day during this stay. Waldimiro helped me figure out how to turn it on the first time as he was away from the building, but by the third time he told me that it would be resolved in the morning. - My room key kept getting stuck when I tried to lock the door and the toilet seat wasn't connected - More trash receptacles outside of the room would have been helpful - The street outside is loud, but I didn't notice it as much in my room with the door and windows closed Normally these negative points would impact the overall score, but Waldimiro's hospitality was truly fantastic. Hopefully these points can be worked on to improve the experience.
