The apartment has been recently (and tastefully) renovated and has a lovely patio where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine, let a nice breeze in through the patio doors or enjoy a glass of wine. The kitchen is well-equipped with dishes, cookware etc. It is located very close to the train and bus stations so it is no more than 5 minutes walk to the apartment. The bus that goes to the main attractions is also located at the train station. It is a nice walk to the historical centre of town, taking about 15 minutes. Susana was very prompt at replying to all my questions. Her husband, Ricardo was waiting at the apartment for us when we arrived and and gave us lots of information about the sites and local restaurants. He also provided contact information if we needed anything else. Susana and Ricardo were terrific hosts and I would highly recommend their apartment. After a day of seeing the sights, you felt like you were coming home for the evening.
