We booked this apartment because it had secure basement car parking and was near to the old city. While the entry to the apartment is off a busy, commercial street that is not the most attractive, the apartment faces the rear of the apartment and looks out onto a church. It is quiet, sunny and spacious. Furnishings are basic but adequate and there is an excellent laundry at the end of the kitchen.
The location is very close to Marques Metro and bus stops to zip into the old city and there are a choice of cafes, bakeries, minimarts and restaurants at your doorstep.
