We had good contact prior to our arrival with both Ana and Simone, one of the neighbours who 'checked' us in. We received a nice welcome gift in the form of local cheese and some Vino Verde.

Ana told us there were constructions in the building, but it would not be of too much disturbance during our stay. The first morning at 8u45 several men walked up and down the wooden stairs next to our front door / bedroom resulting in waking us up. From 9 they started battering with hammers, we had to get out of the building to escape the noise. This continued the next days, only our last day it was better and we could sleep in. I do not think Ana should have rented this place during these constructions, it was bad for our holidays.

Plates and cutlery in the kitchen really needed a wash before we could use it, was greasy as if it was not used for a long time, rest of the appartement was clean though. When constructions are done, I think the appartement and location are good, although it is quite the walk up to go back home.
