This is a lovely apartment in a quiet area with lots of local amenities. While a short distance the city, the local transport options mean that it presents no restriction. You will also notice that there are noticeable savings in shopping, eating and drinking locally. We ate in a number of local restaurants, Restaurante Quiango, Ponte Velha, Amore Mio and A Avo Tinha Arroios. They are all within easy walking distance and last two are very close to the Mercado de Arroios. The people were very friendly, the food was lovely and prices were very reasonable.
Maria and João were very helpful and great to deal with. I would definitely recommend this apartment and this area.
