We did not get a chance to meet Marco, but were greeted very warmly by Carla. She not only showed us around the apartment and gave some local tips, but she also left us with a bottle of wine and some tasty pasteis de nata.
The apartment is located in a residential neighbourhood. There are some local small grocery stores and coffee shops. The bus stop is very conveniently just a few meters away from the entrance into the apartment. The bus goes directly into the city and takes about 30 minutes to get downtown.
The apartment is very comfortable and spacious with a bedroom, small kitchen, and living room. We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend Marco's place to other guests.
