Jorge's apartment was very modern and nice. There were some small touches that we enjoyed such as the available shampoo and bath soap. Things were fairly easy to figure out, though a binder with a guide to the area (nearby food, public transportation, etc.) would have been useful. It certainly was an authentic stay in Portugal, as we had to figure out public transportation (which was pretty easy, people were very helpful) in order to get around. You CAN walk but we did so much walking we got blisters! So keep that in mind. The bus from the airport does not go this far, so you'll need to get a taxi. Anyways, the place was lovely, very clean and nice, we felt VERY secure there. It's probably best for a longer stay as it will give you time to get accustomed to getting around the city. I think the biggest thing we can reiterate is how SAFE we felt in this area, and it's away from the crowds and hustle downtown which was nice.
