The apartment has everything you need (if you don't need a dishwasher). The furniture is old style and the decorations fit to the name, Casa Shiva. Someone who is looking for a fancy, stylish place to stay, will be disappointed. We found the kitchen and the bathrooms are a bit worn out. But the big veranda, the view down to Cristo Rei and to the sea are worth the rent! We loved it. The old dog is no longer there, but Sverker just got a cute small and gentle dog who is still getting used to the surroundings. Sylvie sometimes gave yoga classes in the house, but most of the time, we didn't hear it. The landlords are very friendly and Sverker was very helpful, whenever there was a problem or a need, he was there.
