Eugenia waited for us, although we arrive much later than anticipated. She made us feel welcome and provided a map and listing of her favorite restaurants in the area. The apartment is very clean and centrally located (on a fairly busy street), which is just a short walk to the river and bridge that leads to the port sellers, restaurants and historical sites. There is a small pasteleria across the street and a market a few doors away. We recommend Cantinho do Avillez, which is four days away (we ate there in Lisbon too, since we liked it so much!). There are a lot of steps to climb to the Blue apartment, which is on the top floor; so this should be a caution for older people or for those with heavy bags.
