Monica and Joaquim were very flexible and supported our need to drop of our bags well before the usual check-in. Indeed, the whole apartment had been cleaned and so where able to sort ourselves out before leaving. Joaquim was very friendly and informative and his notes on the map helped us throughout the weekend. There was a lovely bottle of wine, and water, bread, cake and an other small additions to help us feel welcome. It was a stylish apartment that had been well thought out to make the most of the small space and it was nicely furnished and equipped, including a much welcomed kettle which is not always present when we go to Portugal or Spain. It's locality is good and we found lots of lovely small restaurants etc down the old streets. A pity we did not have time to try out more.
