Blue House folk are really helpful. collection service, which brought us from the airport to our apartment were lovely, informative and considerate. The apartment was clean and spacious and well equipped. Beds comfortable. Location was a tad difficult as barrio alto is a very steep district, steep hike from city centre or up from sea front if you miss the bica elevator, but taxis are very cheap. the apartment is on a street of bars and restaurants so if you cant sleep with a bit of noise outside, dont take the bedroom at the front. Stairs up to apartment are steep too so beware if you have any walking difficulties.
