Rui was there to welcome us and helped us up the stairs with our luggage. This apartment is fascinating, full of books and interesting furniture. It's really spacious and the two bathrooms make it an excellent choice for a few people sharing. We didn't use the attic space; it's lovely but the staircase is pretty steep and the headroom low. We went in early October and the weather was very hot, but we always found the apartment comfortable and easy to keep cool. There were lovely touches including nice shower cream and shampoo, plenty of spare pillows, both a Nespresso machine and cafatiere and, best of all, delicious warm Natas waiting on a cake stand for us.
