José's communication throughout was excellent. The apartment is in a very good location and a gentle stroll of circa 25 minutes will take you down to the river front, or circa 35 minutes to the Gaia cable car at the end of the Ponte Dom Luis 1 on the opposite side of the river. We are three males and found the apartment very comfortable, with all necessary amenities and a good place to rest up between exploring all the sites, restaurants and bars. José provided us with two excellent walking maps with suggestions of bars and restaurants, which we found to be a fantastic resource. We will be back to finish off visiting the bars and restaurants we didn't get to!
