Stayed at the apartment for 10 days in Late November. Jorge is a wonderful host who took almost an hour to explain the area and show us some good restaurants nearby on a map. The apartment is small but very comfortable. The garden is incredible, would be a great place to sit and have a glass of Port in warmer weather. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk to all the central tourist areas. Several grocery stores, restaurants, etc are all within a few minutes walk. The restaurants Villaggio (Italian) and Dona Maria (Tapas) are both within a block of the apartment and are strongly recommended. Highly recommend both Jorge and this apartment.
