The location of this place is outstanding. Vitor is a great host, he gave us many tips on where to go and what to visit.
This apartment is a very small space but enough room for our family of 5. The renovation part was only visible in the kitchen and bathroom cabinet. For travelers coming from the USA, please take note of the fact that there is no elevator!!! In the beginning when we booked we did not think twice about this because we intended to use the apartment basically to have a place to sleep, we weren't going to spend much time in there. The reality is that we were doing a 17 day trip which meant heavy pieces of luggage to bring up and down three flights of very, very narrow stairs. The other piece of information that we did not pay much attention to was the fact that there is no air conditioning. Huge problem for USA travelers specially when traveling during summer. We were uncomfortable at night since it was warm inside the apartment, the temperature outside the apartment got really nice around 12AM, but no screens on the windows meant no opened windows.
