First up, the location of this apartment is just fabulous. Close to everything - sights, eating places etc. Our host Diogo was very welcoming and super efficient with his email replies to any queries or concerns I had. We arranged airport transfers and a day trip with our host's driver, Francisco. I can't say enough about how friendly, funny and polite they both were. The apartment itself was beautiful and roomy. One of the few places that actually accommodated 6 people where there was 2 single beds and not a sofa bed. The beds were super comfortable. The only issue (and it wasn't even that big a deal) is that the apartment is on the 2nd floor and there is no elevator!! But Diogo and Francisco helped us with our bags and it was good exercise!!
