I loved this apartment! The meditation garden was so cute. The place was convenient to everything. Manna around the corner had great food and so did A Negra, which was within walking distance. I walked to Vila Nova da Gaia and it was stunning. It was almost everything I needed and wanted. The only thing I missed was a television and a microwave but it wasn't advertised, so I was okay without them. Also, my check-in was a little bit later than I expected. One other thing -- the washer/dryer machine is outside and there was no lighting back there, so it's good to make sure laundry is done during the day. That way, you don't have to fumble around in the dark in the backyard as I did.
Otherwise, it was perfect. I would definitely recommend Ruis's apartment and would gladly stay there again.
