The apartment surpassed our expectations - really comfortable, a short walking distance from the centre, yet quiet at night. We had lovely weather and it was great to be able to sit out on the terrace. Claudia was very welcoming and her restaurant recommendations were excellent.

Our only (tiny) negative is that the second bedroom was a little damp, and I can imagine that for a long stay in the winter it might be too damp.

But generally - wonderful! (and we thoroughly recommend the café just around the corner opposite Claudia's shop on rus poiais de sao Bento for pastries at breakfast!)
