Cute place and wonderfully situated on a quiet street just 5 minutes from downtown and crowds of tourists. The residents on the street were mostly Portuguese which was lovely and there were a number of small mom and pop restaurants on the street which offered wonderful Portuguese food for very good prices. . . much less expensive than the states. There were little groceries and other shops on the street providing everything needed for a stay there. The place had an updated kitchen and a beautiful updated bathroom. The rest of the place was just what I wanted - high ceilings and hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows that opened up to balconies above the street. As it was a corner apartment, there was a lot of light and always a nice breeze. Malfada was nice enough to arrive early for me, which was quite welcome as I was just getting off a red-eye. All in all, a wonderful stay. Bed is comfortable. It's not fancy but if you want authentic, comfortable, this is the place for you.
