Sandra's place was nice, spacious and got wonderful light. The shower is very tight, so if you're large, it could be an issue. Also, if you're sensitive to sound, this might not be ideal. You're right next to a busy restaurant, and sometimes the locals hang out below, drinking and eating. I chalk it up to the local authentic vibe, so it wasn't an issue to me. It's in a great location, but remember, Portugal is all hills and stairs so be ready for that, regardless of how close you might be to certain landmarks.
