I stayed here for three nights. The room is small and clean with few furnishings. There is a nice tall window, with a juliet balcony overlooking the street. In the apartment there are two other rooms which are let. I met Fran only once upon arrival and he was friendly, recommending a nearby grilled fish restaurant which I liked and returned to again. Fran had even helpfully provided a small desk in the room for me to work on. The only small criticisms I have is that the room is a little cold in March and the street can be noisy above a bar. But this is normal for Portugal and, for the price, the room is good value.
