This apartment is in a great location. The neighbourhood was a buzzing area of great places to eat and drink with good access to the city. Joana was a kind and thoughtful host. This apartment is not a loft as it is on the ground floor and next to a very noisy community centre. That being said, it didn't spoil our great time in the city. Joana explained about the noise and she was very concerned it would affect our enjoyment. It didn't; however, we mostly only used the apartment for sleeping.
