My first experience renting an apartment in this way and I was pleasantly surprised. The description was very accurate, and infact two of the bedrooms have that incredible view over the old town, the third bedroom has no view but it's comfortable. We had many a glass of wine and morning coffee on the tiny quaint little balcony. There was so much light in the whole apartment which was spacious and had all the amenities you could wish for. The hostess Ligia and her sister were so obliging, giving us local information and organising a few trips with a reliable local taxi driver door to door, that saved me from having to walk in high heels and ball gown through the steep, winding cobble streets. Great location, in the heart of the old town, amongst the locals, half way between the popular Ribeira area along the river (10 minute walk) and the night life in the city centre. It's easy to get to the beach, and we recommend hiring bikes to take you there and experience the fresh fish market. So much to do here it's a great city break location.
