Six Stars!! Wonderful stay at this nice clean and bright spacious loft apartment. Really enjoyed the little touches like plants and snacks and wine etc. Pleasant and communicative host.
The place is better than described and the location although it may look a bit out of the way is actually excellent. You are five minutes from Via Catarina which is the major shopping avenue in the city and if you walk down the street you can get to the old town center in a few minutes, that's if you don't stop and buy a lot of things at the many good stores! It is probably a half hour walk to the bar section of old town.
The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood with a nice leafy back yard out the window. Twenty steps to a mini grocery and cafe for a coffee and tart and about 5 minutes from a Continente if you want to do some serious food shopping. KFC is there too if you're into that.
Can't recommend highly enough!
