Home truths
There is no central heating that means that it may get cold in the winter months
It is located in a lively area that is known for its youthful atmosphere, so it might get quite loud in the evening
The bedroom is delightfully decorated and has an abundance of wardrobe space but, you should be warned that it is quite small
Although the ornate tiles and stone shower base give the bathroom a unique character, the mechanical ventilation that turns on with the lights can be very noisy

Local guide
About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
