We enjoyed staying in Maria's apartment. Prospective clients should remember though that the apartment is next to the castle wall and getting there is quite steep and challenging. Bus 737 (Castelo) runs frequently to close to the apartment and starts at Praca de Figuiera in town. We chose the apartment because it is situated in a dead-end street where it is normally very quiet at night. Little did we know about the noisy neighbors above: The ceiling of the apartment is the neighbors' wooden floor, and each step, sound or conversation could be clearly heard. Especially late night it was quite annoying. The apartment has modern amenities and everything one needs. The washing line needs attention, though. Although we never met Maria personally, she was always per cell phone available.
