I can’t say how great this little apartment is. Located within the castle walls makes this a perfect location for exploring. It has everything you need in a cozy little package. The bed was comfy and the kitchen more than adequate for a short-stay, including a great little coffee maker, microwave, stove/oven and good-sized fridge. There is also a combo washer-dryer which came in handy. The bathroom is very small, however, and the shower roof/shower head is quite low so if you’re taller than 6 foot or like a lot of space to get ready you may be disappointed, but it was fine for us. The living area was perfect for planning our daily itinerary and had a great window you could open onto the street. It’s the only window in the place, so there’s not a ton of light, but it’s adequate. Communication with João & Silvia was easy and prompt, and paying the €25 for Silvia to pick us up at the airport was worth every cent as she gave us tons of info & history as we drove to the apartment, as well as just showing us where it was...if she didn’t bring us there I’m not sure we would have found it on our own! She was super friendly and happy to answer any questions we had throughout our stay. Be prepared to do a lot of walking up & down hills on slippery cobbled streets...my legs are still killing me lol. We’re already planning our next trip back. Obrigada João & Silvia.
