Vanessa's place was very conveniently located across the street from a shopping centre, with a little supermarket and the temporary Bolhao market in the basement- this was very useful on a rainy day! It's also close to everything... It seemed like we were always less than 20 minutes away from anywhere we wanted to be. We were a little weary about the bed because we are used to a King bed at home but it was surprisingly comfortable and the pillows and comforter were fluffy and perfect! We could tell that Vanessa really goes out of her way for her guests- there were several travel brochures and tips on the table in the front hall (thank you for the Franceshina sandwich suggestion) and she left us little snacks for us to enjoy. Very nice touch!
