This is really a nice place in a lively, lived-in neighborhood. It's great having the elevator. It suited our needs very well, and we especially enjoyed being able to get fresh bread and rolls from the bakery downstairs and eat our breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bridge and the harbor. Well situated to public transport.
The only caveat is that, as peaceful as the house and the neighborhood are, one has to be aware that the traffic noise from the bridge is a constant hum punctuated by the fact that this neighborhood is directly under the airport flight path. No different from any of a thousand apartments in the area, but just to be aware.
Constança & Vasco are great hosts; they're wonderful about communicating and are tremendously helpful. I would definitely recommend this apartment for future stays!
