The apartment location is extremely convenient! It is within walking distance to many tourist sites! Apartment is on third floor and there's no elevator. We are a family of four and we had several pieces of luggage, so it was quite a climb for us, but it was doable. Everything was very clean and the place is very spacious! The shower is extremely small (about 3ftx3ft with a round corner) so just be careful not to bump into the shower faucet when bending down to get shampoo or you'll get a temperature change, which can be quite umconfortable. As someone else mentioned, no top sheets are provided, just a duvet with duvet cover, but we were ok with just that. Mattress is very firm. There's no microwave, but that was not an issue for us since everything we wanted could be done on the cooktop. Also, no laudry detergent is provided so make sure you bring your own if you are planning on using the washing machine. There's a grocery store nearby (Pingo Doce, if I recall correctly), but I didn't see any travel size items so you'd have to buy a whole bottle if you don't bring your own. Check-in is listed as flexible, but make sure you confirm your arrival time and get a confirmation from Rui that the apartment will be ready. We arrived and the key was not available so we had to wait, which was inconvenient for us since we had a lot of luggage and two kids anxious to get in. Also, if you need to check out late Rui seems pretty flexible, but again, make sure you confirm the time with him so the cleaning crew doesn't show up before expected. Rui is very responsive, so if you need anything just call him, since email may take a bit longer. Overall, I definitely recommend this place! Location was just perfect! ;)
