Lovely place. It's hard to get a full picture because it's so unusual, but essentially the apartment and garden are on what is called the 1st floor in Europe but the 2nd floor in North America. The building entrance gives you no idea of what's inside – it just looks like a fairly humble apartment building. But once inside you have a pleasant two-bedroom apartment, typically Portuguese layout in a long, fairly narrow rectangle that forms one side of an L. At the back, out the kitchen door, the garden forms the other side of the L and extends all the way across the width of three neighbouring houses. That is, it runs parallel to the street at the front of the building. At the end of the garden is the little cottage with two more bedrooms. So, the space is private, pretty, and completely unexpected. The street is a dead end for cars, with stairs at one end, so it's quiet. The little restaurant directly across the street is the only business. Location is ideal, between two metro stations and with good bus routes just round the corner. You can also walk everywhere. There are three good supermarkets within walking distance and all sorts of other shops for anything you need. Jean Luc is a very gracious host, in good communication. An excellent place!
