A quaint and sweet apartment in a fun, historic area! Ideal for a couple on holiday. The apartment is small but comfortable. As someone traveling alone, I was so very grateful that Antonio met me in person at the Santa Apolonia train station, carried my heavy bag down the many steps, and made me feel at ease and welcome. Antonio also ended up showing me around the town, including the more authentic restaurants and Fado joints!
I would note the following about the apartment and area: it took me about 24 hours to feel comfortable because the roads are winding, and the keys were difficult to fit in the lock properly. Once I learned the trick, everything was smooth! It is a safe area with plenty of people living nearby and tourists walking about. The Cathedral (Sé) and San Antonio church and Sao Jorge Castelo are all within easy walking distance, as are many restaurants, the river, and the metro (Terreiro do Paco and Santa Apolonia are both about 10-12 min. walk).
