The apartment is clean, attractive, light-filled, and well-equipped, on a quiet street. Manuel was welcoming and eager to help. Nice food supplies offered in the refrigerator, and a welcoming bottle of wine. The apartment is about a 10-15 minute walk (much of it uphill) to the more central area of Baixa-Chiada, but this slightly-off center location is also quieter and more local-feeling--not a bad trade-off. I recommend it highly.
