Great location with two Miradouros with great views right in a walking distance of five minutes. Some restaurants and grocery stores are close by. The area is lively but quiet and not as touristically overcrowded as other parts of the city. The best way to get downtown is by walking; not only because the tram is overcrowded during the day, but also because, depending on the route, you have either a nice view on the Tejo (via Miradouro Santa Luzia) or a small and lovely park with a Café and view of the castle (Jardim da Cerca da Graça) on your way. During the evening when it goes uphill, you can take a bumpy ride on the old tram M28 that is usually no longer overcrowded at later hours and stops right around the corner.
The apartment itself is with nooks and crannies, cozy, comfortable and well equipped. Below the balcony, which is great for breakfast, there is a terrace (probably of another apartment), but that wasn't a problem. The host was very nice and friendly. Overall a great stay.
