Wonderful, super clean apartment (and I am picky!). The place looks newly renovated. The bed and sofa bed were really comfortable. The beautiful windows let in a lot of natural light and although there was street noise, it could be mitigated when the windows and shutters were closed. I appreciated the little things like a full length mirror, plenty of bathroom storage area, well appointed kitchen (tea, coffee, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, grater, peeler and a few spices) that made our 8 night stay very comfortable. Plus, the Pingo Doce grocery story nearby had anything else we needed.
Ruis met us at the apartment despite our late arrival and welcomed us with a lovely port wine. He was also very responsive to any questions I had.
