We were met by Rita's friendly and informative boyfriend Helder who insisted on paying for the drinks we ordered while we were waiting for him to arrive. The apartment was ideally located in the heart of a busy tourist area, although definitely bijou. You need to know your roommate very well! There were city noises but these were not unbearable and the bakery downstairs serves as a sort of reception, storing luggage, welcoming guests, accepting the vouchers for a free breakfast.
This is a very modern apartment in a block of similar accommodation. Not as personal as some airbnbs we have stayed in but good value for money and a central location make this a viable more hotel-like experience.
