The apartment is nice and not far from the beach Pane e Pomodoro (~20 Min. by foot) . There are also some small supermarkets, bakeries etc. close by. The train station and bus stations are nearby as well. The apartment is located in more of a residential area where there is not that much interesting going on.
The room ((This review is for room 2**)) was bigger than expected. It is equipped with a big bed, a couch, bedside tables and two desks with some drawers. Keep in mind that there is no closet, but you can put some stuff in the drawers or on some hangers.
It was a little bit difficult to cook in the kitchen because one of the cats always came and jumped onto the table, sideboard etc. and disturbed us unfortunately. I saw other people cook though so maybe she just really took an interest in us specifically.
We didn't see Luiz much but he was always very nice and helpful and responded to messages really quickly. He was very accommodating and let us leave our luggage past our ckeck- out time and pick it up later that day.
All in all I would recommend the apartment and the room, especially if you are looking for something comparatively cheap.
**We booked Room 1 but according to the pictures we actually ended up getting Room 2. I think this was probably just a mixup and it was no problem for us.
