Where to begin - with Luis of course! A more personable host you won't meet. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. We had a wonderful visit! Luis was not only helpful about everything in his apartment, but he had recommendations on things to do, places to go and how to get there, and very importantly, where to eat. Since we are newbies to Portugal, this guidance was extra important for us. Also Luis was very prompt at communicating, but not unnecessarily so.
The 50's apartment was awesome - just my style! Luis' artwork graced about every wall, and there were quite a few interesting decor pieces and art books. One that the tenants even get to do their own art work in - that was so fun! Kitchen and bath were equipped with essentials. Most important for me was the apartment's cleanliness, large size bed (my husband is tall), comfortable bedding and nice big shower.
There is a flight of hard marble stairs to walk up to apartment, so be careful if you have any balance problems - you don't want to fall on those stairs.
Super location - we just parked in garage right across the street - and were able to walk most places we wanted to go. Parking cost about 45 euros for 4 nights. It was worth it for the convenience!
We highly recommend this beautiful apartment and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again - thanks a million Luis!
