The apartment is just south of Ponte Victoria off the beaten path. Not a lot of tourist and local restaurants were mostly locals. The Tram was easy walking distance and takes you up the to main train station for 1.5 euro. U can get on/off as many times as with in 90 minutes. The apartment was fully equipped to washing machine. TV had English channels. There were 4 A/C units that were excellent. If you have walking issues be aware you have the walk up 3 flights of stairs. We had a good time and would use again.
