Excellent location, very close to all that is happening in Ribeira. The apartment is very well furnished and spotlessly clean. The lady on the 3rd floor is an angel prepared to help in any circumstances.
Everywhere is walkable but beware if you have trouble with steep hills! The apartment is on the 4th floor which means a sharp climb on your return. The ground floor of property next door houses some kind of benefits office so be prepared to make your way through a group of claimants on your morning departures.
The loft bedroom is very pretty but suited best to teenagers being a little dangerous for younger children and a tad restrictive for 35+
The apartment and the city offer good value.
