Luis’s apartment is a unique, modern remodel of an old apartment, with an ingenious modular set up that had everything we needed. The location is central and we imagine it can be quiet, but our timing was unfortunate. There were street performers set up across the street, and people tended to linger there well passed our bed time. The apartment is on the second floor so we had to close the windows. Without air conditioning and warm weather, it wasn’t the best for us. I think if we hit it on a different week we may not have had so much noise. If you are a night person, you probably will not have this problem.
Luis is a very good host, and has a lot of knowledge and experience to offer excellent suggestions. He helped us find hotels in areas of Portugal where the airbnb choices were few.
