l stayed for six weeks in April and May 2021.
The flat is on the third floor overlooking Avenida da Igreja in the last block before the roundabout in front of the church. Within ten minutes walk are the Metro, buses, a taxi rank, two bio-supermarkets, two conventional supermarkets and all the local shops and cafés of this pleasant, lively and prosperous high street and its side streets.
The street is not particularly noisy. I could sometimes hear the children in the flat next door.
The photographs generally reflect the flat, save that the furniture in the back bedroom has been changed, the bedroom shown with one single bed now has two, the television is now bigger, and the sofa has aged. In the photographs of the exterior of the building the flat is not the one with a large terrace but with a thin balcony overlooking Avenida da Igreja (it's wide enough for a chair - l would sit out there as often as l could).
While l was there the trees on the pavement were in leaf and blocked out a lot of light. Combined with traditional dark wood furniture that made the rooms at the front less bright than in the photos. It also meant that there was no real view from the balcony along the Avenida; there was a view of the roundabout and church (as illustrated). Lighting is generally by a bright though perhaps harsh overhead light, though some of the bedrooms had bedside lamps and the living room one uplighter + spotlight.
The flat has a straightforward practical layout. Things generally worked: wifi, hot water (instant heat, therefore unlimited), shower, kettle, toaster, fridge, heater, washer/dryer, steam iron.
Weekly cleaning and change of sheets and towels was included.
The owner was kindly flexible about an early check-in and a late check-out.
