Host was fantastic, the location excellent, the apartment is top of the line. We stayed two weeks and loved this home base. It's very close to the metro and located on a Main Street which is mostly pedestrian only. Great access to the old city or Ribeira. The street is noisy at night but closing the great glass doors shuts it out. The bedroom has a large opening for fresh air all night. We loved returning to this clean, new, modern home base each evening. The host Joao is very friendly punctual and helpful. There is a lady upstairs available should you need anything. Thoroughly recommend Portowhite.
