Idyllic and peaceful. Our stay with the Almeida family was a great experience. Aside from the beautiful location, Ines and Antonio made us feel so comfortable and welcome that it felt like home. The apartment is conveniently located - metro, train and tram stops close by. It's right on the waterfront, in the flatter part of the old town, which is nice in a city with steep hills. All the nicest restaurants and shops are just around the corner. If you want to cook for yourself, the Mercado da Ribeira is near and the kitchen has everything you need. You might end up spending more time in the apartment than you think as it is just so cozy. The attention to detail in the furnishing and decoration is amazing. They take really good care of the apartment as well as their guests. Antonio has good suggestions on where to find great things to do. Also, there's a handy guidebook in the apartment with tips from other travellers.
