Helena's place is in a fantastic location, about a five minute walk to the river. There is a great place for francesinha's around the corner, along with plenty of cafes. The apartment has a lovely garden, and the washer and air conditioning were welcome as well. Communication with Helena and Arturo was easy. They helped to accommodate us with our early arrival from the airport, and someone was there to greet us upon our arrival to the apartment. Highly recommended!
