Nice apartment situated 30 mins from the inner city. Now I know Google Maps might say you're no more than 2 km from the center, but that is without taking into account the hills are *very* steep, meaning those 2 km will feel like 5 km.
The apartment is lacking in size, but it redeems itself with its terrace, which has a wonderful view of the water and the city. A great place to cool down and have dinner, or enjoy some port wine. The kitchen is small, but workable. The only downside we found were the lack of salt, and that the knives were very dull making it somewhat of a struggle to cut through a Chorizo - minor stuff :)
The apartment gets fairly warm (we were there during a heat wave) but it's possible to make a draft and the fan there is very nice, offering good cooling.
The host was fast with his replies, and gave good answers. So kudos for that :)
