The apartment is not very large (especially the bathroom is tiny,shower 60x70 cm), but it has everything you need for two persons. It is a residential neighbourhood, so there was little noise and we slept well. The place is a good base to explore the city; bus 735 will take you from across the street straight the city centre. We missed a list of recommended restaurants in the neighbourhood, so here is one from us: try Penalva da Graça; fresh fish and seafood at a good price and frequented by locals.
