The apartment is in a nice neighbourhood , fairly convenient for an interesting walk down to the centre. It overlooks the back garden. Student area, lively but difficult to find somewhere we could buy food. Eventually discovered municipal market. Would help to have that info in the apt. There is no wifi here so communication and getting info wasn't easy. Filipe was flexible about the original 8pm check-time so we didn't have to lug around cases for hours.
Communication was in Portuguese so we'd misunderstood a detail of the address and accessing the lock box for the keys. Once a neighbour showed us where it was, it worked well.
