The area was great. In quite a touristy location, right by the castle, but peaceful and quiet. Very central so a good point to explore from. If you are using Google maps to locate it, when you first arrive with all your luggage and get to the bottom of a huge set of stairs, you will be pleased to know if you go a few streets up there is an elevator that takes you up the hill! The area is the old city, where space is limited so be aware that the apartment is bijou - small and beautiful (but you should see that from the advert, which doesn't pretend it is anything else!) but really well designed to fit in everything you could possibly need. The only thing to be aware is that the shower space is quite small, so if you are larger build you might occasionally switch it off when moving about in there and if you have long hair to wash you might want to switch off the water when shampooing so you have enough warm water to rinse. If not, do not worry though, it is VERY QUICK to reheat (a few minutes!) It is very traditional in design but with contemporary decor and perfect for 2 people as a base to explore the city from and peace and quiet at night. For 3-4 people I think you would have to be very comfortable with each other as there is no door to the bedroom so you would get no privacy but still for a night or two you would be getting an amazing deal at those prices. The window is large and has two layers you can open, one frosted layer to let in light but keep you private and another to fully open and let in some fresh air. We had both open whenever we were in the sitting room and it was fine. Andreia was brilliant, checking in on us a few times over the trip so we really felt we could rely on her if needed. For us at was absolutely perfect for our 6 day stay and the price is ridiculously good value. Would definitely highly recommend staying here.
