My wife and I stayed for 5 nights in January -- 3 sunny days, 2 rainy days, including a news-worthy deluge. We enjoyed the place especially because of the exceptional view. After walking miles every day, rain or shine, we would come home with some delicious unknown Portuguese dish for dinner (use the bakeries and cafes for takeout!), then sit by the windows with a glass of Port and look out over the roof tops to the silvery lights reflected on the river, the boats, the twinkling buoys and the golden necklace of cars. What a treat! The old building is beautiful and well-maintained, the apartment has everything you need. We look forward to staying there again.
