Had an amazingly beautiful week at Ilda's place. Ilda is a considerate host full of attention to the smallest detail. After mentioning that I was vegan, I found a list of veggy restaurants printed out and vegan food in the fridge. Ilda was there to greet me upon arrival and say good by on my departure day.
The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated and sunny, the bed very comfortable, the shower strong with plenty of hot water. Stunning view from the balcony !!!
Her house is located in a central and very authentic neighborhood with great coffee places right downstairs ('O Das Joanas' being my favorite). Metro, tram 28 and busses are just around the corner to explore the city, but I simply walked everywhere most of the time. Taking the metro from the airport to Ilda's place was the easiest and most economical solution.
Needless to say : warmly recommended !
