The location was perfect, it is in an authentic neighborhood, not touristy at all. There is a local market across the street where the vendors sell produce and various goods, a grocery store, and numerous cafes. It is about a 20 minute walk to Pastel de Belem and the Monestary. The apartment itself is very nicely furnished and cozy. Everything you need is there. It was a great place to stay and Carlos and his wife were so hospitable!!
