We highly recommend this place. Everything was perfect. The location was just right - a couple blocks from Santa Catarina, about a 5 minute walk from Bolhao metro station makes it easy to get around. This puts it just between the tourist part of the city to the west and the regular town to the east. There are 2 supermarkets within a block, so it's easy to buy food and drink to bring to the apartment or dozens of restaurants and snack bars within a couple of blocks. A washing machine in the apartment makes it easy to travel light. There is no dryer, but it's easy to hang the clothes.
