The apartment is very clean and well decorated. However there is no natural ventilation into the apartment without having to open the small window in the living room. The air inside is very humid and moist, only with the fan on at all times its a bit better. If you have a lot of luggage it is not ideal, you have to walk from the point where the taxi drops you. The area however is cool, its right next to Portas do Sol wich has great restaurants and a great view of the city. If you're backpacking and dont mind the walk, and you're not planning on spending too much time at home, than this place is not so bad.
