House of Peace is lovely, especially the back garden with a picturesque lemon tree and holly tree for shade.
The beds are comfortable, and the hosts gift you with a decanter of their family's Porto wine. Very generous.
The apartment is located near a couple of malls that have a grocery store, shopping, and a wonderful food court. This is a fancy food court, with many options for tapas, sandwiches, wine, sangria, beer, salads and other meals. Our favorite was Mariscos, a seafood stall. Delicious! The sangria shop near Mariscos serves up very fresh and delicious drinks to partner with the seafood. Very fun!
On the down side, the apartment is not really located "directly in the city center." It's a 15 - 20 minute walk to most tourist destinations. That was fine with us, but may not be for someone who anticipates being in the center of the action. We also had a slight problem with a sewer smell that emanated from the kitchen sink. It helped to open the windows; and when you are washing dishes, water running down the drain seems to reduce the odor as well. Maria assured us that the odor was a temporary issue related to street work, so it may well be resolved for your visit.
