We stayed 3 nights at Ana's place and we really had a great time. City center is a 10 minutes bus ride far away, there are several supermarkets around and we enjoyed the close X factory a lot. We prefer areas that are not packed by tourists and Alcantara is a traditional and very nice and safe area. The apartment is great, modern and comfty, the terrace is fantastic we stayed there serveral hours just enjoying the great view.
