The location of Paul’s place was excellent, we were able to walk anywhere from it and the street it is on has everything you need. There are a couple of grocery and souvenir stores, restaurants (make a reservation at Sr. Fado up the street if you want a great dinner and Fado show) and a laundromat, (although there is a washing machine in the unit, but no dryer- drying rack is provided to hang clothes).
We were 2 couples in our 50s and the unit was great for us. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom has its own sitting area and is private from the main floor bedroom/bathroom. When we closed the door to the stairs at night, we couldn’t hear our friends and they couldn’t hear us, it’s a very solid building.
The street outside becomes very busy with pedestrians in the evening and there is a great atmosphere, it got noisy because there was a festival on but we closed the windows on the main floor and didn’t hear a thing.
