This is a spotlessly clean apartment, very close to the metro that takes you straight down to the main train station. Our host, Ricardo was very friendly, helped us carry our suitcases up a flight of stairs from the street. Communication was very good. He left a bottle of water and 2 small liqueur bottles of Madeira wine for us to try.
The apartment has been remodeled, and is well appointed, with a small kitchenette, sufficient for us as we only had breakfast here. The main bathroom on the same level as the bedrooms is very nice, with a good shower. There is also a powder room on the main floor.
We wanted to give it a very good recommendation
but we had an issue with the bedrooms being on street level, smelling musty and damp as well a the issue of the very loud street noise.
The main bedroom looks out onto a busy street, a few feet from a bus stop and you can actually hear constant conversations from passers by.
We also had a first sleepless night due to loud thumping music that didn’t stop until a bit after midnight. We don’t know where it came from.
It is an ok place to stay for a few days.
