Excellent apartment in the middle of Alcantara which is a lovely residential neighborhood with small cafes and away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. If one has a car then there is plenty of free street parking and in my one week stay and I only had to pay at a Parking Lot for one day which is also very nearby. LX factory is a short walk away and the water front is also a 10-15 min walk. Plenty of small and big supermarkets in short walking distance. Our host Margarida Caetano who is Ricardo's mom was super cooperative and always available for any help or any issue with the apartment. The apartment also has a small balcony to sit and enjoy a smoke. Overall a very comfortable and pleasant stay.
