The apartment is lovely, bright and colourful as shown in the photos. Views are fantastic. It is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need except personal toiletries. The distance from the centre is a good 20 min downhill and longer going uphill but very manageable with comfortable footwear. We also used Uber which was fast and inexpensive. We used a supermarket in the centre as we were told there wasn't one nearby other than the basics at the petrol station. Bike rentals were inexpensive but not free if you don't have a Portuguese tax number. The apartment building is quiet and well maintained. Police station directly below. We would go back. Highly recommended.
