The apartment is located in the Old City. It is easy and safe to walk everywhere from it. The accommodation is not only beautiful but also functional: there is a place for everything and everything is in its place. It is impeccably clean. It is an old building, and the stairs leading from the street to the apartment are steep and may look a little intimidating at first: on the bright side, there are only about a dozen of them, and you will not be hauling up your luggage every single day. Rui is a genial and good-humoured host. He welcomed us with a bottle of wine and chocolates -- a nice touch -- gave us lots of advice, and offered to help us with more tips when we return to Portugal at the end of the month. We really enjoyed our stay!
