5 stars from me! Loved this duplex - charming, clean and convenient, and very much as described. The location is great - close to metro, to the castle and shops/supermarket/restaurants. As someone else pointed out, the stairs to the bedroom are narrow so take this into account if that could be an issue. The duplex is in the old part of town - very atmospheric and there is a nice vibe in the apartment. I travelled in March and with the windows closed I didn't hear a thing! Very quiet. Local contact was very responsive. One tip is that if you are booking a taxi they will not be able to come directly to the door as the street is very narrow. I booked my taxi to the airport at the nearby Sao Cristovao square. However, if you don't mind the steps and don't have much heavy luggage the nearby metro at Martim Moniz will take you to the airport with one change at Alameda, I think. Would stay again. Thank you!
