We hit the jackpot with Marco's apartment. Amazing value! It was spacious, the shower was great (water was always hot), the kitchen was well equipped, the washing machine was really handy (both of us could fit 5 days' worth of clothes in there), the bed was comfortable. It did get a little cold in the apartment (we stayed over Christmas break) but it was easy to heat up the bedroom with the radiator heater. We cannot imagine a better location - so close to the Metro stop and the Ribeira District. We walked to all the tourist attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby. There's also a large-ish supermarket within 5 minutes' walk, which was quite handy. Check-in and check-out were easy. Marco and his wife Carla were very responsive with messages. We had an excellent stay.
