We enjoyed our stay in Cristina's large place. It was close to many restaurants, sites, and grocery stores. The area is noisy at night. We ran the fan at night to block out the noise which helped. We were there during Christmas and New Years so we expected more noise and activity as well.
There had been leaks in the bathrooms which came from the apartment above. Cristina is getting that repaired.
Cristina was very helpful in explaining the apartment and how things worked. She was also there to meet us when we arrived. She spoke English as well. The Portuguese people are very well versed in so many languages. The waiters in restaurants always asked you, " Do you speak French, English, Spanish, or Portuguese" before taking your order.
Thank you, Cristina! Many blessings in 2019!
