We enjoyed our stay in Carla's apartment. It is a quirky space in a very old building with steep steps to the second floor. Everything is sparkling clean, fresh and light. We slept extremely well in comfortable beds with beautiful bed linen. Bathrooms are small and shower stalls a little old but everything works very well and is spotlessly clean. Kitchen is well equipped with nice touches of milk, bread and butter on arrival. Safe and quiet area with small shop next door for all your essentials. Good shopping street at the top of the hill with some nice cafes. We were greeted by the amazing Mrs. Olinda - she is an absolute treasure and made us feel so welcome. We had no Portuguese and she had no English but we still managed to understand each other perfectly. We were not disappointed and would certainly return.
