"Die neue Unterkunft war wie aus dem IKEA Katalog. Uns erwartet zwei schöne neue Schlafzimmer, ein kleines Duschbad und eine Wohnküche. Die Unterkunft ist zwar ein wenig außerhalb von Praia, aber mit dem Bus ist man schnell und für 40 Cent in der Innenstadt. José der Vermieter ist super freundlich und bei Problemen um schnelle Lösung bemüht… hat uns am Abreisetag sogar morgens um 6 Uhr zum Flughafen gefahren… "
