We really enjoyed our stay here. Very easy self-check in process, looks just like the photos and we had good communication with the hosts throughout our 5 night stay. The apartment has a clean, modern, minimalist feel which may not necessarily be to everyone’s taste but certainly has a lot of character. Tall ceilings and some unusual but quirky furniture, stylistically it made for an interesting change from the usual apartment you might come across.
The kitchen/lounge area boasts a very comfortable sofa facing the large windows and doors leading out to the balcony which let in plenty of natural light. The balcony itself is massive and overlooks a busy pedestrian lane with bars and shops below, very pleasant if you’re looking to sit outside in the evening and enjoy the lively atmosphere (though it does share a short fence with the neighbouring apartment’s balcony and is eye level to the apartments directly opposite across the lane so it isn’t very private if that’s a concern for you). The kitchen has plenty of good quality cooking utensils, a large fridge, washing machine, dishwasher and nespresso coffee machine.
The apartment is in an excellent location for exploring the city on foot with the city centre more or less right on your doorstep, though it can get very noisy at night time so not ideal if you’re a light sleeper. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and it’s only a short walk to heart of the Ribeira.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay there again.
