The apartment is situated close to the heart of the city with metro Bolhao and August 24th within a short walking distance. There is also a very handy large Continente supermarket at Campo 24 August for those who like to cook. We arrived quite late so the host did not greet us. This is a 'staycation' apartment and therefore doesn't take on the personal touches of a more traditional hosted apartment. The apartment is modern, super light and bright, with high ceilings, wooden floors with stylish furnishings. It is slightly smaller than it appears in the photos. It is great for two people. The main advantage here is the lovely terrace. Disappointedly, the drawback is the constant yapping of dogs in the various gardens. If you don't plan on in being in the apartment in the days it shouldn't be an issue. We would also suggest to Dixos, the owners, to provide a shower mat or something to clean the floor in the bathroom. The wet floors became an issue for us. Also, for those staying slightly more than a few days we do recommend a change of towels.
