I booked Sorin's apartment for my sister and my 5-year-old nephew for 15 days. Sorin and his wife Carla, were wonderful, welcoming and very kind to us. They thought about everything we might need and beyond. The apartment looks exactly how it does in the pictures but it feels more homey. I really loved the lighting and the double glass windows. Not to mention, the beds are so comfortable. In regards to the location, we were walking distance to many cool places like Casa das Artes and Jardim Botânico. The bus stops to take us to the beach or the historic center were also close by - I love how close we were to the beach! We did a lot of our grocery shopping in Lidel which is close to the apartment as well. I would book this apartment again in a heartbeat!
