This is a clean, convenient apartment in a super-central location. We were impressed at how well the windows and shutters block out the heavy street noise. The immediate neighborhood, while pretty, is mostly just souvenir shops and tourist-trap restaurants. But you can walk in almost any direction and find places worth exploring for hours. (Be sure to grab some pastry from the Confeitaria Nacional at the end of the street!) Be aware that this apartment is at the extreme end of "self-catering" -- expect one day's worth of soap and toilet paper and a 100% empty kitchen.
