No wonder that Pedro is a super host. In our four week travels in Portugal he was the best for communication before and during the trip and gave us such detailed advice and tips on our stay even providing a map on which he highlighted the places to go. The apartment has just two bedrooms so almost like your own private apartment, a nice bathroom and well equipped kitchen. The location is on the edge of the tourist areas in a residential area, but no more than five minute walk to the shops and bar areas and not much more to the cathedral area and Riberia. We liked the location as we could use the restaurants aimed more for locals than tourists in the evening. Do look out for bar 77 for enjoying local company and really good value drinks and snacks. Do not miss Snopao for utterly delicious pastry breakfasts with excellent coffee, 50 metres left out the front door. Because of its location there is no late night street revelry noise The only thing I would make you aware of is that the apartment is on a main road virtually at a crossroads with traffic lights, and so even with the double glazed windows closed there is some occasional but regular traffic noise. It must be said I am a light sleeper and live in a very quiet area at home and you may not even notice it, but I felt it right to comment on it in my review
