This place was recently remodeled and equipped with modern kitchen and amenities. We enjoyed the ocean view and sean breeze when opened window. It's about 10 minutes walking distance to the Azulejos museum (the tile museum). There were plenty of bus, tram, and taxi so transportation wasn't a problem. Cintia was a great host and gave us many local tips, places to visit, great restaurants to try, and courteous service.
If you don't like the downtown center's hustle and bustle and still close by for all the attentions, then this place is perfect for you.
