We were originally going to stay with Cláudia's flat along with our friends, but have decided to extend our trip and booked another flat. Cláudia has been very understanding and very welcoming with our friends who stayed at the lovely and well decorated apartment in the centre of the old down. She also kept their luggage in a safe place as they arrived very early in the day prior to the previous guests departure. Cláudia took the time to show them everything in the flat that they needed to know about. If you want to be near the river and Ribeira then this is an excellent location. There are great restaurants very close and we could chose between the more touristy places on the river and some lovely eateries on the back streets.
