This listing should be updated to reflect a few facts: the kitchen has been renovated and is much nicer than pictured. Also the TV is a more modern flat screen now. The apartment indeed has a fireplace but the owner is reluctant for people to use it, so if you find the fireplace an important selling point for you, I think you should mention this to the hosts in advance. We found the apartment very cold. It is not centrally heated and though you are in Southern Europe, you are in Northern Portugal and by the sea, and it being the winter months we found the heating inadequate. To her credit, Carolina tried to resolve this but of course this is a major thing that is hard to resolve simply in a few days. The bedrooms and bathroom are exactly as pictured. The location of this apartment is very ideal: the Foz neighbourhood is wonderfully charming and you are steps from the beach.
