Let me first start by saying this apartment is in a great location in relation to all the attractions and shops. There were complimentary wine and coffee along with some jam and João homemade Ginja. There was great thought put into the little details and atmosphere within this apartment.
However, my husband and I stayed for 6 days and we believe this was too long to stay in this apartment. If you're staying for a shorter period of time this is a great place to stay. It's a small space and we were under the impression before we arrived it was a little bigger. There was a strong unpleasant smell coming from the drains in the bathroom and it was difficult to avoid. It was extremely noisy starting at 830am due to the constructions on both houses connected to the apartment. There is only one front window that you can open to let light in and air. It was also extremely humid and one must constantly run the dehumidifier that's provided. In the end, we spent a significant amount of money and felt the value for what we received was not well correlated with the price. For vacation we would've liked to relax or feel comfortable in this space, but for us this apartment just didn't do it.
Again, if you're staying for a short amount of time like 3 days, I think it's great.
