We stayed at Margarida and Filipas apartment for about a week. The apartment was great and it was in a really good location. HOWEVER, there is a major construction project ongoing in the adjacent house, complete with giant crane operation, loud percussion drilling into the rock wall that divides the properties, constant hammering, and other very loud noises that continue morning to evening, mon-sat. This was not mentioned at all during our correspondence and would have definitely affected our decision to stay here. Also, there seemed to be a miscommunication between Margarida and her cleaning service. We had to wait until after 1730 to check in because she said she wasn't happy with how well they prepared the apartment for our arrival. They returned and did some more work after we were allowed to drop our bags, but the apartment was still very dirty in many areas and it did not appear that the cleaners had done a complete effort even after the additional time was allotted. It was disappointing because otherwise the apartment is a pretty neat space and would have been more enjoyable had it been properly cleaned.
I would recommend this property if you first inquire with Margarida to determine if construction is still active next door and if she has solved her problems with her cleaning service.
