We stayed at Gordon’s apartment for 5 nights during January (winter). The service and communication was 1st class. Antonio organized a driver to meet us at the airport to drive us to the apartment for a very reasonable EUR 25. We were greeted by Mafalda who amazingly carried one of our large 22kg suit case up stairs to the fourth floor!
As for the apartment, the
positives were the location was close to public transport, restaurants, a nice bakery and grocery store. There were also many shops scattered around the whole area. The apartment gets afternoon sun so it was a nice temperature, we only used heating for a short period late in the evening. The decor is modern, tasteful and the apartment was spacious and was clean. The washing machine is handy and the shower was really good. We didn’t cook in the kitchen. The outdoor patio is really nice but we were too busy sight seeing to enjoy it.
The negatives (in our opinion) were no safe for valuables, climbing up four stories of stairs particularly after long day of sightseeing, some noise from the street and apartment next door in the evenings. No clothes dryer, however there is a portable stand to dry clothes.
We felt the accommodation was very reasonably priced when compared with similar options or a hotel.
