This apartment is as well appointed as the pictures show and it is in a great location too. We we met at the apartment by Marcus who took the time to explain how the appliances work and then took us on a little walking tour of the immediate area - invaluable information!!!! the free breakfast provided each morning at a local cafe was very nice; the coffee was excellent. From Marcus to Joao to all the staff in the office, we can't thank you enough for all help. They made our stay even better than we could have imagined and we would return to this apartment and these lovely people in a heartbeat! To future renters, you will not be disappointed!
