My mom was born in Portugal, but we lived overseas for long time. She chose this place more as a local than a tourist, and we loved it. The apartment is exactly as described. Fully equipped with what you need for a short or long stay. Barbara was communicative and accommodating during our stay. The only cons of this apartment for us was the stairs. As mentioned before, I stayed here with my mom and for al elderly person a second floor apartment was a little of struggle, but she made it up and down for a week! Everything else was just as described and planned. Will recommend this place!
