Excellent apartment in perfect location
The apartment is exactly as it appears on the listing and it is very well laid out and thoughfully equiped. It was nice having two bathrooms and the showers had good water pressure.
We loved the location. We arrived by Flixbus and as a bonus, the bus stop was just a few minutes walk from the apartment. The apartment itself is on a wide pedestrian street bustling with life and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching people go by and the children running around. We were there in December and the Christmas light displays were just outside the door. As some reviews have said, it was a bit noisy some evenings but it was never too loud and did not go late.In fact, we rather liked the feeling of people enjoying themselves around us.
For general convenience it could not be beaten. It is a short walk to the beaches, the old town, and the marina. There is a small but good grocery store close by and the larger Lidl and Aldi stores are about 15 minutes walk away. We also enjoyed short runs in the Ribeira Park accessible by an underpass at the top of the road.
Last but not least, our hosts were gracious and helpful. They were waiting for us at the bus stop and took us to the apartment to show us around and encouraged us to contact them if we had any questions about things to do in town. They made us feel very welcome. Overall we had a wonderful vacation and certainly plan to be back.
