The apartment was in the perfect location to everything. We never cooked in it, but had everything you would need to cook a meal. It was a bit loud at night but that is the trade off you make to be in the hub if everything. Just bring ear plugs. The a/c worked fabulous. I would just turn it on for 5 minutes, cool down, and shut it off. We never met our host but he left explicit instructions and we had no problem entering the apartment. Nice hot shower with plenty of pressure. Apartment is on the first floor (steep stairs) so make sure you can carry up your luggage. Would definitely return to Nuno’s apartment.
