The apartment is excellently located, close to the main points of the historical town, various good cafés, restaurants and a 10 min walk away from the São Bento train station. We found the apartment clean, comfortable and overall well equipped. Check-in was straightforward. We arrived early (by several hours before the nominal check-in time) and Paulo was very accommodating, handing us the key early and letting us leave our luggage in the house. Check-out was comparably easy and convenient. The apartment and host were therefore, on the whole, excellent. We did, on the other hand, experience loud noise caused by the club/disco/bar opposite our apartment, from which music was being blasted out through open windows.
