Madalena was a great and generous host and it was pleasant and easygoing to stay in her apartment and lovely back garden. The room I was in was large and clean and comfortable. As it was in the front of the building there was a fair bit of street noise which nothing can be done about but it was quiet with the windows and shutters closed, and luckily the weather was not too hot when I visited so this wasn’t a problem for me at all. The location was good, close to many shops and interesting neighbourhoods. The metro is in walking distance as well and many points of interest in the city are easy to get to. Thank you Madalena!
