This is a beautiful apartment in a central location with lots of helpful details - so nicely designed, great bar and food recommendations - even wooden hangers in the wardrobe! Halina was great at keeping in touch, sending directions and letting us check in a couple of hours early BUT - and it's a very big BUT - for English non-smokers, to have the bedroom opening onto a small central courtyard at ground floor level, with people's cigarette smoke drifting upwards and filling the bedroom and bathroom was awful. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have booked this space... I don't think there's anything Halina can do about this as downstairs isn't her apartment
but there's a whole different approach to smoking in Portugal that is much more evident than the UK
