The Historic Center of Évora was classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. "Vauban" built in the 17th century, inside it is the "museum-city", which contains 20 centuries of History of the towns and civilizations that inhabited Évora. There are real estate and specific areas of the city that are classified as patrimonial value to protect, the case of the facade of the property of which this apartment is part and that is included in the list of real estate of historical interest and culturally To be preserved. The apartment, with access by the Becco dos Assucares, makes a corner with Rua dos Mercadores. In historical terms it is located in a central zone of the ancient medieval Jewry, which housed between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, a large community with services Such as school, hospital, inn for ritual baths, two synagogues, sites for reading and interpretation of The Bible and gafaria.
The Becco dos Assucares or "... bequo da Asuqueres ..." is the Christian toponym attributed from the 17th century to the street, referenced since 1450 as a street of the baldresaria or aldresaria.
Rua dos Mercadores has also been mentioned since the first quarter of the fifteenth century Rua dos Mercadores (to distinguish it from two other streets also known as Merchants).

Evora
Apartment was nicely appointment and convenient to all Evora has to offer. The host, Luisa, was quite helpful in explaining facts about her apartment and things to see and do in Evora. Having a dedicated parking space in a secure garage is definitely a plus in this city as parking is very much at a premium. The garage is a 5-8 minute walk from the apartment.

Evora
The small medieval house has been renovated and is very cute. Very nicely decorated. I ranked it 3 on accuracy of listing because the listing says it has a washer and dryer then says coin operated laundry. I feel this is a little deceptive as it is listed under facilities. We book places to stay so that we can do laundry during our trips. We Did go to the laundry but the listing needs to indicate the laundry is not a party of the facility. If you don't care about laundry, it's a great place to stay in Evora.

Amazing Rental + Host
The rental is in an old part of the city, but still presents very modern. It is in a good location though somewhat difficult to get to by car given the narrow roads. Luisa was an excellent host. She really went out of her way to accommodate our 2 year old. It was easily the most child-friendly experience we had at a rental over our 2-week vacation.

Stay in a historic apartment!
This apartment was an excellent experience. It started with our host explaining in great detail about the historic significance of our place. She also provided a map and indicated where all the essential spots were located. It was so cool to come back and relax where merchant stalls used to stand. I highly recommend you stay here while visiting Evora.

Nice apartment but not right for us
This apartment is nicely renovated from a very old dwelling and is attractively decorated. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, a relatively easy walk to the main square of the town. Luisa is a very responsible owner and communicates well, so arrival and check-in were fairly simple. Positives are Luisa the owner, the very comfortable bed, plenty of pillows and blankets. Our disappointments were as follows: Storage is definitely very limited. One very tiny dresser in the bedroom is mostly filled with owner's linens. There is one closet in the main room which is difficult to access because of dining furniture -- it would be much more helpful to have small closets with shelves and not have luggage racks and other things that take up space in the extremely small bedroom. The lack of privacy (no doors on bedroom) was a big negative for us because we are older adults who were traveling with a cousin -- she really had no private place at all and it felt awkward for all of us. So part of the blame rests on me in thinking this room arrangement would work -- it did not and my cousin moved to a nearby hotel. The apartment would be fine for a couple traveling alone or with small children. With parking provided in the nearby garage, it really is a very convenient place to stay!
