I stayed at Pedro’s apartment for about 3 weeks and it was perfect: clean, sunny and bright, a very comfortable bed, a kitchen outfitted with essentials, a great shower. There are drying racks along with the washing machine.
Pedro, the host, is absolutely great: helpful, informative, responds in a timely manner, and goes the extra mile.
There are minimarts (Santos Mercado), cafes and restaurants within walking distance along with a bus stop a couple of blocks away. Walking everywhere took less than 10-15 minutes ( Cais do Sodre, Timeout, Pingo Doce, Praça do Comercio, etc). There were a couple of nearby parks less than a 5 minute walk away where’d I go to read.
My test is: would I stay at the apartment again? My answer is YES.
