Great location. We rented bikes from the bike shop right next door to the apt., and also from the shop at the bottom of the street to the left. Laundry mat on our street towards the bottom with a great breakfast place at the bottom of the street and to the right. We walked over the bridge and visited Ferreira port lodge/cave, then took a river boat tour with another company (included with 2 tastings). Make reservations!!! So much to do and see from this amazing location. Very safe to stroll around town to the cafes, restsurants, and for shopping.
