This was a great apartment with an excellent location just off the bottom end of tourist center Rua Das Flores. The only shortcoming is that it is on a very busy street so leaving the windows open at night is not an option. Even daytime is noisy if open. There was no a/c but in October the fans in the bedrooms were fine. By far the most professional pre-stay communications and check in anywhere. Alex made excellent recommendations. They also arranged pick up at the airport rental car agency when we arrived and back to the airport on departure. Very smooth. Although a little hard to understand from the photos the apartment layout served us well.
