We spent a week in this very comfortable and bright basement apartment with a smart and sunny garden. The full kitchen was well equipped with a large fridge and dishwasher, oven, microwave and cooktop.
We dined inside at the large table or sometimes al fresco in the garden. The sectional in the living area was big enough for two men to lounge comfortably. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and pillows were the best quality. The window in the bedroom was at sidewalk level and was fun to watch people walking by. But privacy and quiet was great with double windows and shutters to sleep soundly.
The bathroom was clean and bright and even with our very long showers we never ran out of hot water. The towels were thick and absorbent.
The location is in a wonderful emerging area of the Bonfim neighborhood and more specifically called the Dukes (streets named after Dukes) and is a 4-5 min walk to the city center. The neighborhood is featured in The Guardian - google “10 Coolest Neighborhoods in Europe” to find it and great tips on things to do. There are a lot of great restaurants in the blocks surrounding, but you are just blocks away from the swarms of tourists.
This place was a tremendous value and I think you’ll enjoy your stay here!
