Barbara was an excellent host: easy to communicate with, and available to meet with us an hour ahead of our original schedule. The port wine was a thoughtful touch, and the overall cleanliness and decor of the apartment was on point! The fan was our best friend as in August in Portugal it is quite hot! Well situated for accessibility to the ribeira neighbourhood, as well as transportation - being as it is a 5 minute walk to the (beautiful) S. Bento train station. Recommended Eats: RIB restaurant in the Pestana Hotel; Cremosino artisanal icecream and the Cantinho do Avillez restaurant both on the main street next to the apartment.
