We were met at the apartment by Jaos's friend who made us welcome and told us how things worked, where to eat etc. The apartment is in the basement and has very steep steps just inside the front door so you would need to be fully able bodied to stay in the apartment. There are 2 bedrooms but they are not very private/separated from each other. The lounge/diner/kitchen is a great space with full length opening patios doors all along the side. The outside space is a bonus but the upper terrace would be very unsafe for small children as there is a drop with no barrier. The metro is 5mins walk away to take you into the centre and there are some great Portugese restaurants very close that are excellent value for money.
