This is an excellent apartment, in a great location, and the hosts are wonderfully kind and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here considerably. There were a few small problems, but nothing that impacted our overall enjoyment of the apartment. The only warning is the steep stairs - but this is something to expect in old Portuguese houses. The apartment is cosy, comfortable, clean and feels true to the local style. The location is awesome - right underneath the Cathedral (you can see it above you from the back windows). The house is on a narrow back street, but it is full of life with small bars and cafes, and a lot of tourist through traffic. There is a very friendly shop right outside the front door, with all the basics you need. There is a big supermarket 500 meters away up the hill. You are very central but also right on the edge of the Alfalma, with the river, the Praça do Comércio and even the castle all within walking distance. Definitely recommended.
