This is a wonderful old house - very spacious, with a nice large terrace (and smaller ones for three of the bedrooms), a beautiful overgrown garden, and even a billiard table.
The welcome was great, with lots of explanations and tips (and a bottle of Portwine :-), and communication was always very prompt.
The neighborhood feels very local and not touristy. We liked the location, it is about a (partly quite steep) 15-20 minutes walk to the bridge that brings you to the old town (and if you do not feel like walking, taxis/Uber is not expensive).
