Vasco's apartment exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect with sunny views of the water and the local suroundings including the castle. It is nice and quiet but right in the heart of the historic district and a couple of minutes walk from the famous 28 tram. There are some very nice and inexpensive (<50Euro for 2) restaurants in the local vicinity and plenty of cafe's and local shops tucked away. The apartment has everything you need with a nice new kitchen and a very comfortable bed - we didn't want to leave! Vasco is a great communicator so checking in was easy. We highly recommend Vasco's apartment and we hope to go back some time.
