We had a lovely stay at this totally remodeled apartment. The best feature is the lovely sun drenched balcony that opens directly off the living area. Everything was nice and clean and still felt very new. There is definitely a feel of it being still a work in progress, no microwave in the kitchen yet, and it could do with a few homely touches - would be nice to have some coffee, oil, vinegar, dishwasher powder, etc in the kitchen, especially if you are just there for a short stay, but I'm sure these minor things will be looked after by the owner.
Paulo and Pedro who look after the management of the apartment were just wonderful - attentive, funny, and unflappable!
