We loved our brief visit at Sandra's! Very clean, cute studio apartment right in the middle of the historic center. She has wonderful little Portugal touches all over the place in decoration - the art was great on the walls and lots of neat little things all around in the apartment to discover. The place was very clean! Noise level was ok here (some noise in the alley during the nights will definitely come up but nothing too crazy and it's solely residential), and while it's a little toasty in the summer, a fan is provided and we slept comfortably. It's hard to find only that you walk down Beco do Bello and hit the end of the alley at the intersection which means the end of the house number just one number before the one you need. But have no fear, you turn the corner and the entrance to this place is on the side of the building ;) We came by car - there is NO PARKING right by the apartment, but there is 24 hour parking a very easy walk just a few blocks away and it costs about 8 Euros/night - not bad at all, and very easy to do (and plentiful amount of parking there, too). The only thing to keep in mind is that the shower is TINY. If you're a wider person, you literally will not even be able to get in/out of the shower. Do keep this in mind if this applies to you! (I am roughly 5'8" and 160lbs and still fit in there fine, but commented several times about some friends of mine who would have to forgo showers if they were traveling and staying here!)
