Paulo was super helpful and met us on arrival at the property to give local advice and an introduction to the property. It is a lovely apartment with great views. out to the river away from town. It is perfectly located for the castle but walking anywhere else involves a commitment to big hills! If you want to spend a lot of time out in Bairro Alto (e.g. for nights) it is probably not ideal, but there is public transport during the day including a bus that stops right outside the castle. Peaceful in the bedroom at night. The apartment is well equipped for preparing your own food and drinks.
