Location in thé lively heart of old city on pedestrian Rua das Flores ( cute restaurants and stores) was a daily pleasure. Easy walking access to all sites of interest, historic Riviera, churches and palaces and train and subway stations. Calm and functional apartment was open on a back side of building. Modern interior with large bathroom and shower. Only thing was limited shelf space in bedroom, a few simple shelves could be added. The staff was incredibly responsive and helpful all throughout stay using WhatsApp messages.
