A newly refurbished apartment in an old building in a very central location. We loved having such good restaurants a stones throw from the apartment. Our favourite was 4 Royal, only three minutes walk away, which served extraordinarily good food, with a good mix of steaks and seafood.
It is only ten minutes walk to Sao Bento station from whence you can travel out on a variety of day trips. We went to Braga for just $7.
The apartment suited our family really well. We have two young adult children who both had their own room. Having two bathrooms also made life easy for the four of us. The terrace is a lovely spot and catches both the morning and evening sun. As the apartment is on the 4th floor it is high enough up to be above the hustle and bustle of the square below and was reasonably quiet for such a central location.
Pedro was a great host, allowing us to arrive a little earlier and greeting us with lots of useful local information and recommendations on where to eat.
