The apartment is lovely and very well located to visit the city in the more artsy area. We loved strolling around and going to get breakfast every morning at a different cafe', while coming back home away from the touristy chaos of downtown. Everything is within 10-15 minutes walk from the city center and the best attractions, like Casa da Musica for example. The apartment is a beautiful re design of a traditional home, we especially enjoyed the glass house that gives on the private garden. Maria is at all times available and easy to communicate with.
