The place is as advertised. Stayed in December and could barely hear the streets from our the apartment overnight. The room gets dark (not blackout dark but dim of light coming from downstairs should not bother light sleepers). We are pretty sure the street is one of the one features in Portugal's lonely planet book (Ascensor da Bica runs in front of the apartment). The apartment was super clean. Not only is the place a gem but also the four guys running the space make communication with the guest a priority. We would recommend the place to anyone.
