Loved where Ricardo's place was located. Nice quiet street, but right around the corner was a mall with a movie theater, food court, shopping, etc. Didn't spend a lot of time there, but it was nice to have that option when I didn't want to have a sit down meal at a restaurant. The place had everything you need, including washer/dryer, is centrally located right around the corner from a metro that can get you pretty much anywhere you want to go. Great value as well. Since he is on the top floor, there are quite a bit of very narrow stairs to climb, but if you're in good shape it should not be a problem. Really a nice find in Portugal!
