We really enjoyed staying in Valeria's apartment. It was clean, comfortable and chic. Valeria was very responsive when we needed to ask her anything. The location is excellent. It is in a small and charming inner city street very close to Ave Liberdabe. We enjoyed watching locals going about their business and chatting away to each other from windows and balconies.
Be aware that the apartment is quite compact, and can be exposed to some occasional noise from the street or room above. This did not cause us any concern.
There are very good restaurants in the small streets close by. We loved the restaurant at Rua Sao Jose 194.
