Principe Real is a nice alternative to staying in Bairro Alto, which has more of the student-centric bars. We really enjoyed staying in this apartment and exploring the neighborhood which is a bit more residential than Bairro Alto and has restaurants / bars appealing to individuals who are a little bit older. The apartment sits on top of a hill in a square with several fragrant orange trees. It has great views of the castle and rest of the city. Thank you Francisco for the wine, desserts, and espresso machine.
