Location!! On one of the main pedestrian-only streets with tons of restaurants, shops, and general liveliness. Directly in the middle of the action, super easy access to all the sights. Location could not be nicer. The apartment is super cool, and very very authentic, in what seems to be a really old building. The only warnings are that it's on the 5th floor with no elevator, and that the ceilings are quite low. Perhaps built for Portuguese from long ago, not for today's 6-foot-tall Americans. But for most people, these two things are no big deal, and other than those, we'd recommend this place for sure.
