Yes, you have to carry your bags to the 4th floor but what you get is a little paradies home-away-from-home including an amazing view over the houses around you! The apartment is a dream for interior lovers. Beautiful, individual, minimal, white, cozy. The bed is the best we slept in during our trip and we were welcomed with fresh fruits, water and a smile! There Is always a breeze in the apartment because the windows remain open so it doesnt get hot. Most of all though we loved the host Verena. She is super kind and warm and staying with her was the perfect end to our amazing Portugal trip. Go stay there!! Thank you again Verena and we are excited to see you again!! :)
