I had a wonderful stay in the little apartment; it is very compact but it has been carefully thought out so it has everything one needs. It’s super quiet and private, and the little garden which the sliding door opens onto is wonderful. The location was great; so close to Avignida Liberdade and other convenient places. There are excellent restaurants and cafés nearby, as well as supermarkets, fruit shops and an excellent barbershop. Manuel, who checked me into the property was really organised and I also met Francisco, the owner, and he was extremely hospitable and great company. I can fully recommend this apartment, especially if you don’t want to be caught up in the overly crowded (but undoubtedly beautiful) Barrio Alto, but still be really neat everywhere. It really was a home away from home.
