What a fantastic location! Normally very quiet & a bit off the beaten path, this was in the very heart of Portugal Day celebration. Sofia (the apartment manager) was at the flat to greet us & went over all of our questions. She gave us maps of the area & had a box of the local pastry waiting for us.

The apartment itself is tiny but comfortable for 2 people. We were able to make ourselves hearty breakfasts & light lunches (no oven, but a full electric range stove-top, toaster & microwave available). The water pressure is great, & the bed very comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was as long as we closed the windows (despite the craziness of the partying outside). After having spent 10 days in the country/coast, we were also THRILLED to have access to consistently reliable wi-fi!

The flat is a short walk (& elevator ride - the elevators are a godsend!) from a large well-appointed supermarket as well as a great overlook & outdoor cafe (decent coffee, mediocre pastry but perfect for people watching & to decompress).

Bear in mind, you have 1 very steep flight of stairs to manage with your luggage to access/egress the apartment.
