We took the train from Lisbon and the apartment was just across the street from the station to the right. The front is kind of intimidating, but as soon as we opened the door to the apartment, we were pleasantly surprised. It was very bright and quiet with a great sunset view off the deck. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was a small grocery store just down the street to the left. Mini markets were everywhere as well as restaurants. Bed was comfortable also. Really enjoyed our stay. If I could suggest one thing…it would be a full length mirror for the ladies and maybe a small shelf in the bathroom for toiletries.

The apartment was spacious, nicely decorated. I liked all the houseplants and the water view. Conveniently close to the train station. Found the surrounding area to be a little suspect, the building itself to be very old and the entry way dark. The apartment was withing walking distance to the town center and marina. Owner was very responsive to questions.
