The apartment is well located within easy walking distance of the historic centre.
For those who prefer public transport, there is a bus stop very close to the apartment with a regular bus and tram service to the Centre or out of town.
The apartment itself is large and airy, with traditional shuttered full length windows leading onto a small balcony overlooking the river. It is tastefully decorated throughout and lacks for nothing - everything has been thought of to make life easy for those who stay.
Every guest is personally welcomed by either Teresa or her husband Ricardo, and receives a glass of port and a home baked cake to enjoy. There is also a supply of teabags, coffee, bread, water, fruit juice and jam for your first morning in the city, and well stocked cupboards with enough crockery and cutlery to do any of your own cooking. There’s even a mini dishwasher!
There is plenty of local information available to read, and Teresa is always available on the end of a phone to help with any questions you might have. She also keeps in touch throughout your stay to make sure you have everything you need.
This was my first experience of Airbnb and I can’t recommend it highly enough for the level of service, attention to detail and wonderful welcome received.
