This is a fantastic, stylish apartment in a historic street within the motte of an stunning castle. It's about 15 min walk to Baixa (there are two elevators for public use to make it easier when getting up and down the hills, one is in the supermarket Pingo Doce and the other one is in Junta de Freguesia de Santa Maria Maior).
It has an excellent kitchen for preparing the delicious food you will undoubtedly pick up at the local markets and is also near several eateries that offer food at reasonable prices. Impeccably clean throughout and nice and cool in summer with a comfortable bed, sound system and large flat screen TV, you simply could not ask for a better stay in the city and your hosts will leave you tea, coffee and detailed advice on the city, things to do and the easiest, most stress free ways to do them without being charged visitor prices.
As it is a historic neighborhood, noise insulation is not perfect, so you may hear tourists outside talking loudly during the day. At night, the neighborhood is tranquil - in a very rare instance of a resident listening to their TV too loud, our hosts even journeyed to the city and had a constructive dialogue with them to turn it down - the problem of noise was abated immediately. Highly recommended.
