Mafalda took great care to communicate with me on time and to make self check-in and access to the appartment smooth.
The appartment is impeccably clean. It has all necessary amenities, fully functional and is well arranged with great attention to detail. It was pleasant and comfortable stay. There is even a nespresso machine and capsules for each day of the planned stay.
Access to the apartment is from a stairwell going downstairs to what seems a basement. But the apartment itself has access to a wide sunny terrace. Unfortunately the view to the river/ocean is blocked by other buildings. But there is full view of the sky and I could enjoy the sunny November days. There is a coin laundry next door, and a friendly fruit store around the corner that makes espresso's for 50 cents and sells fruit, cheese, portuguese pies and sweets. A short walk upwards past the baroque church Igresia Memoria is a nice neibhborhood with more cafe's for all tastes. Belem is just 5-7 minutes downhill. All in all, I fully recommend this apartment.
