Most important, the apartment was clean and safe. It was equipped with everything we needed and the location was just perfect. We only used public transport from and to the airport. (Talking about transport... renting a bike to cycle to the ocean was just great!) The street were the apartment is located, is very cozy: pedestrians only, a lot of small bars and cafes and street musicians (and a cute little shop for all the Port wine you need!). The apartment is located at the backside of the building, so no noise disturbance from the street. However, the staircase in the center of the building makes a lot of noise when people climb the stairs, which sometimes woke us up. This is the only minus we experienced during our stay. Contact with the owners was via WhatsApp, we didn't met them. They responded quickly when we had questions.
