We were met by Ricardo's friend Antonio who gave us valuable information about what to see and do. Loved the area and nightly Fado performances very nearby. Hot water supply was a problem and had to be used sparingly. There was a leak in the water supply pipe to the hot water unit. Figured out how to close it when not in use, which solved the problem. No space in the bedroom to move around and the stairs to the apartment On 3rd floor can be difficult (dangerous) to use.
Having said all this, we loved our stay and would certainly reccommend it, provided that the visitors have a sense for adventure.
