It's amazing apartment and you have a super nice view. Penthouse feeling. The owner was also very friendly. Everything you need really even kitchen-ware wise. Its basically in the middle of nothing and everything. Halfway to the city centre (1-3 km) and the airport, also the port.

A Home Away From Home in Praia My stay at this apartment in Praia was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, everything felt just right—calm, easy, and welcoming. The apartment itself was spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished, with everything I needed to truly relax and unwind. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the host and his family. Their warmth, kindness, and willingness to help went far beyond my expectations. Whether it was offering great local tips, helping with practical matters, or simply having a friendly chat—they were always there, and always with a smile. You can really feel they do this from the heart. Because of them, I didn’t just feel like a visitor—I felt genuinely welcome. This wasn’t just a place to stay, it was an experience I’ll carry with me. I’m incredibly grateful and I truly hope to return one day.

    It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman.

    It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman. Do NOT go out alone or at night. My housemate and I went to a beach that was 6-7 walking minutes away. It was absolutely lovely. We went at 6pm and left at 8pm. It was dark. Unfortunately 2 masked children (of about 12) tried to "jump" us with knives. I've been traveling for 30 years and robbed 7 times before (including this; that averages out to 1/4 years and I AM VERY WHITE, with blue eyes, blond hair and stand out in certain places, so I may be an "easy target". Still, I've never had knives drawn on me. So PLEASE be careful, especially if you are women. BE SMART. I wasn't. Thankfully all I walked away with was some PTSD and bad memories, but they had masks & REAL KNIVES and it could have been VERY BAD.

    Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere found on the other Cape Verde islands. The local population generally doesn’t speak English and often seems offended if you don’t speak to them in Portuguese. Tourists are frequently stared at, which can make you feel a bit out of place, and the overall impression is that visitors aren’t always welcome. We had a bad experience in Praínha, where persistent children came up asking for money, while older men seemed to be eyeing our bags left on the towels. We ended up having to leave immediately by taxi. Outside of the Plateau—the only area recommended for tourists and heavily patrolled by military and police—you don’t really feel safe.

    Actually I’m a Nigerian.

    Actually I’m a Nigerian. When I traveled there I found it difficult to communicate in Cape Verde due to I can’t speak Portuguese. But there are another islands that they do speak English there. in this country 99% people speaks Portuguese. So that’s just my experience. But the was nice and peaceful
