The apartment was everything we needed during our stay and very close to all of the districts we wanted to check out. Was quite roomy for a couple and could easily accommodate a group of 6-7. The hosts' friends, Joana and her husband Diogo, took care of any and all questions we had and were so very kind. It was a little tough getting used to using the water heater for showers, but that was the only curveball and is to be expected when visiting a completely different country. Only advice - make sure all food left out of the fridge is completely sealed! Or there will be many ants. Our pastries were not safe :-)
