The apartment is located a short distance from Ameixoeira metro station - very convenient. I felt very safe in the area. There are a few shops near the station and a large supermarket nearby - handy because I wanted to cook every night. The room is a decent size, and everything was very comfortable. There was a heatwave while I was there but Maria provided a fan. The kitchen was well equipped. The terrace was a delight to sit on in the evening. The apartment is not modern but I had everything I I needed and I had such a warm welcome from Maria and her neighbours I felt very at home.
