Luísa’s apartment is clean and functional, situated very well, just 25 minutes walk to the centre. The space is more of a serviced apartment rather than a home, in a quiet neighbourhood/building, near to lots of transport options and the western waterfront area. Carlos who takes care of the apartment was very friendly, great with communication, knowledgeable about the area and even offered to pick us up from the station which was very generous. He also brought us a fan which was more than welcome, although the apartment was naturally cool considering the summer heat. We had hoped for little sun in the outside area during the morning/afternoon for some brief sunbathing, but although very bright, the patio didn’t get any direct sunlight at the times we were around. However, we really enjoyed having such generous outdoor space!
