Superbly equipped little apartment, furnished like something straight out of the IKEA catalogue. You do have to be fit enough to be able to cope with stairs, though, as it is on the third floor and there is no lift. However, it means that you are rewarded with great views of the city. We soon got the hang of the 758 bus route to Cals do Sodre (downtown) and shopping for breakfast and the evening meals was made easy because a branch of Pingo Doce supermarket was just 5 minutes up the road. We came by car and parked in the underground car park at the top of the road, opposite Pingo Doce.
