I've stayed in many flats throughout Europe and some in the U.S. and Luís is by far the best host I have ever had. He met me upon arrival and had left a lovely bottle of wine, fresh bread and fruit in the flat. There's even a bathrobe which was a nice touch! He was kind enough to take me out on the town to see the sights and get to know the area. He checked in every day to see how things were going and to offer suggestions and has plenty of information in the flat for your stay, including an English version of The Lonely Planet guide. The flat is a 15 minute walk to the river and is very comfortable. It is a lively part of town, but that was as expected. If you stay here, be sure to check out the Craft Beer taproom down the street. I highly recommend the flat and the host!
