This is a wonderful apartment in a great location. We were pleasantly surprised that our host was so welcoming. She had maps available answerew questions, shared recommendations and provided a great orientation to our location. We were one couple staying 4 nights. There is a Pingo Dolce grocery store that is not too far away and that we preferred to the more health food type store that is closer. There are also small convenience stores all over the area that have fresh fruits and vegetables etc. The restaurants in the immediate area are all very good too.
