The apartment was clean, cozy and equipped with everything we needed for every-day life - kitchenware, towels, bed linen.
It had a fast and stable wifi - as I needed to work, that was important for me and the wifi connection performed really well.
The apartment is in a central location - the river, old town and downtown are all a walk away, and although the traffic was fairly busy and sometimes loud under the window (well, because it’s a … big city, after all) it’s still on a small side street which is a bit more peaceful than the main streets.
It had a nice little balcony, nice for having a cup of coffee.
On the same street there is a very cool vegan eatery (with vegan pastel de natas) and not far there is a craft beer bar with a great selection of beers and fantastic people behind the counter. We also discovered a nice place for food and wine on the parellel street, with spacious sitting places outside. That is to say that the neighbourhood is nice and worth some exploration. We liked it a lot.
The metro stop is very close, also the supermarket. It’s really just located so well.
Jorge was very kind and kept checking in once in a while (via AirBnB messaging) to see how we’re doing and if we’re ok. He was very helpful, responded quickly and we very much appreciated his kindness (also the bottle of wine that was waiting for us on the table on arrival ;) - a very nice gesture).
Overall - clear place with all the necessities, central location, reliable wifi for working, a kind and helpful host, a great neighborhood and a great value for money.
