João and Carla’s apartment was a hidden gem. Fantastic spot in the heart of the old town with small bars and authentic restaurants within a minutes walk. The neighbourhood is pedestrian only which mean NO noise from traffic. The view from the apartment over the rooftops to the water was superb with two nice big windows for fresh air and sunshine. Although compact the apartment has everything you need including a brilliant hot shower with loads of hot water (I’ve read this is a problem in other apartments in the area ie 2mins hot water and no pressure). Can’t recommend this apartment enough for a adventurous long weekend. Will definitely be back!
