I enjoyed four nights in this gorgeous flat. it's much bigger than I appreciated from the pictures. it's in a lovely building with done original features but a very modern light and bright feel. the kitchen was well equipped although I didn't do any cooking during my stay. there are little bakeries in the square for breakfast and evening meals. the lounge/dining room is very spacious. the TV was large and had lots of US programmes if you want channels in English. I loved the little seating area overlooking the garden, it was a lovely little book nook. the bathroom had a very efficient large shower unit and heated towel rail. the bed was quite high and has no headboard but was very comfortable with very good quality sheets. there are shutters in the bedroom and do you can make it totally dark to sleep. i didn't sit out in the garden but it was a nice secluded area ideal if the weather is warm. lovely view of the church next door, which is illuminated at night. the metro station Marques is opposite the flat and there are bus stops in the square. the square has trees and a fountain. the traffic can get very heavy at rush hour but there are several crossing points. the flat and the area itself is very quiet at night. I walked into the centre which is downhill but you could get the metro. it was only 2.60 euros to get to the airport by metro an it took about an hour, with one change at Trindade.
