We had a perfect stay for 12 days in this 3rd story loft. Such a well-kept, clean, stylish and uniquely designed space, it has everything you could need for short or long-term rental. It looks exactly as it does in the pictures with a big comfy bed, full kitchen, 2nd pull-out bed on the main floor, big shower with strong water pressure, clothes washing machine, and spacious living area. As a bonus, it is located in the most perfect spot in the city: within a two minute walk from the doorstep is a good grocery store, convenience stores, a vibrant and artsy square where locals hang out at many excellent restaurants, an indoor mall, Rua Santa Catarina where tourists come to shop and eat, and Bolhao subway station. Within a 5-10 minute walk from the flat is the main train station Sao Bento, the university, Livraria Lello, Ribeira district, and so many places to eat.
When we arrived, Elsa met with us and showed us on a map where some good places to visit were. She made amazing restaurant and wine bar recommendations, and suggested we take the historic tram over to beaches for the day if we wanted to enjoy the best seafood in the city. Listen to Elsa. She was an invaluable source of info and genuinely wants your stay to be an unforgettable one. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.
A perfect experience. We would stay here again without hesitation.
