We arrived about one hour earlier before check-in and found the key already placed on the door, so the access to the apartment was good and convenient.
The location of the apartment is good, if you like walking up hills: very close to city center (by foot about 15-20 min), close to supermarkets, such as Pingo Doce (about 5 min), close to nearest cafes and pastelarias, such as A Padaria Portuguesa. There is also a bus station just around the corner of the flat.
In just 400 meters there is a beautiful garden called Jardim do Torel with a magnificient view to the city.
About the flat:
This flat has several issues to be definitely fixed.
First of all, due to the fact that it is located on the ground floor, there are lots of insects on the floor.
Secondly, shower cabin door was broken and we had to clean water from the bathroom floor. Secondly, the kitchen is not fully ecquiped with necessary things, such as tea pot and toaster, and the plates were a little bit dirty and old. Though, there is a coffee machine, but there is no instruction how to use it.
In general, the flat is suitable for as max 2 nights. We had been there for over a week and found it kinda difficult to enjoy the apartment.
As we found the towels a little bit unfresh we asked the host to change and she changed them without any additional charges.
We asked her for iron and got it.
We kindly ask the host to manage all the issues to make the guests happy with the choice of the apartment. Maria was friendly and answered us in several hours. Thank you, Maria, for hosting us.
Best regards,
Maria and Iuliia
