A comfortable oasis in a very busy locale, the appartment is cool and quite quiet, with access to a great shared backyard. The room itself is not large, but the table and chairs on the balcony provide an extra space that is very useful. The situation of the house is absolutely excellent, and you can literally turn left out of the front door and be down on the Ribeira at the foot of the stairs in 5 minutes, and cross the bridge on foot and be amongst the Port houses in 10 minutes. Great restaurants within 15 minutes walk in all directions, and the funicular up from the Ribeira is only a couple of minutes from the door. Highly recommended.
