Great location, practical apartment and sweet little attentions.
The location of this apartment is about as good as it gets. A few minutes walk from Praça da Figueira, from where you can discover the whole city.
We were welcomed by Maria, a sweet old lady, who showed us the apartment. Although she didn't speak English, everything was clear! Carlos was always quick to answer, so definitely no complaints there.
The apartment was very practical. Small kitchen, but everything was there. The bed was fairly good and the bathroom, although a bit small, had everything you needed. Everything was pretty clean, but the major complaint was a strong smell coming from the bathroom. We communicated this with Carlos, and he told us he will be installing a new bathroom. So normally this will be solved soon.
Another complaint was the noise from the upstairs neighbours. We were lucky the first days that they were not home. The last night however, they came home and the noise was pretty bad. That's normal however for such an old building.
All in all, it's a pretty good apartment for the price with just a few minor drawbacks.
