This immaculately clean place is much more like a hotel - it has obviously been one in the past. we were greeted by the beaming Anna-Rosa, who was so delightful and was happy to answer my questions in bad Portuguese about how to say certain things in that language (she will use google translate if you can't speak a word and aren't inclined to speaking in mime).
She also let us use the little kitchen and fridge which was a bonus not mentioned in the profile.
The location is on a lovely old street and is great for not being in the the crazy-tourist centre, but just to the side of it - so you have a quite place to return to.
The only down side was that despite the no-smoking signs, the building seemed to often have cigarette smoke drifting out of various rooms into our room, which I don't like.
