Susana our host on the day was excellent and communicated with me prior to our arrival. She took time to show us around the apartment and orientate us to the map but did not stay for too long given we were keen to go out. We had been travelling for more than 2 weeks by the time we arrived so it was great to use the washing machine. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The beds were comfortable and firm however our group would all have preferred a second pillow. Despite an abundance of transport options right outside the door, the location is just excellent and great for walking but only for those who are comfortable negotiating the steep hills. The only drawback was not the apartment itself or the location but the noise. The trucks are super noisy at night and the restaurant staff underneath the building woke us up almost every night at approx 0300 with what sounded like arguments on the footpath - long ones and loud.
