We had a fantastic stay in Santa Catarina. We were welcomed with a great bottle of wine and spent a good 30 mins chatting about all of the best places to sample some authentic Portuguese food - Patio 13! The apartment was very clean and exactly how the pictures describe while Pedro has done a fantastic job of renovating the build. Very tasteful while staying true to the historical nature of the building. The apartment has stunning views on all sides across the city and down to the river - I don't think I've seen a shower with a better view!!

The location is perfect for seeing Bairro Alto as well as the tourist spots with the main square just a 10 min walk away. We had a good work out hiking up the hill everyday but there is the tram just a few metres away for those less inclined to walk.

All in all it was a fantastic trip with a great apartment and excellent host. we couldn't ask for more!!
