As a lot of other reviews make clear, the apartment is up many steps and you might need to take a break halfway up. Met by Catarina who was absolutely lovely and really very interested in making sure we had all information we needed, she is great. The apartment is as described. The balcony is small but perfect for sitting out in the sun with a glass of wine and plate on your knees. We had two problems - the unpleasant smell from the shower drain, which Martin tried to fix and the second was a safety issue which led to an injury. The door on the freezer, which is above head height, fell off in my mother's hand. The corner of the door fell on to her lip and cut her lip on the inside and outside of her mouth and dislodged a tooth. It really upset her and me too. Martin tried to help by asking advice from a dentist and suggesting a dentist location. Two plastic cups were broken and drinking from them you could have hurt your lip. I think the maintenance is a problem at this apartment and needs a little attention.
