David himself was away on holiday, but his parents were always at our disposal in their shop downstairs. They are superfriendly. After an indicent with a defrosting fridge, they replaced the towels with huge coloured ones that might have been their own.
Apartment didn't feel very fresh, due to some stains on the bathroom doorpost, a wooden cupboard in the bathroom with a lot of dust, and some spots (not dirt, but maybe small damages) in the toilet. The ad shows bright rooms with flowers, but actually the apartment is somewhat dim and without flowers. (The only windows are in the bedroom.) But apart from that, the apartment was decently clean, kitchen had a gas stove, bed was squeakey but nice. Shower was hot and full-powered.
Location is great in Bairo Alto, with a very nice restaurant around the corner (Fumeiro de Santa Catarina). It is uphill a bit, after a tiring day that can be annoying, but gets you in shape... ;)
Recommended for a few days.
