Wow! Ana's place was simply amazing for the following reasons -
1 Even through the building was old (super charming though) the flat was extremely modern, large for European standards and immaculate, including the bathrooms. Great water pressure and the tap water was very drinkable as well.
2 The view was phenomenal and it was very quiet despite being in the middle of the city.
3) Location, location, location! Portugal has a lot of hills so be prepared to walk up/down whenever you leave the flat. We appreciated the exercise but if you have any handicaps, I would suggest staying somewhere else. That being said, minutes from the Time Out Market, shopping, grocery store, etc.
4 We were greeted by Ana's assistant, Rita. She spent a lot of time with us, showing us everything (how the stove worked, washer, etc.) as well as giving us advice on where to go and what to do while we were there.
One of the best trips ever and I'm already planning to go back with my husband and rent Ana's place again! Thank you Ana!
