This location can't be beat! Away from the frenetic streets of Chiado and Bairro Alto (but only a 10 min walk away) and full of local artsy character. The steps of Sao Cristovao, around the corner, is a small, quaint gathering place for artsy locals - live music and socializing every night - but not loud.
The apartment is smallish but super well stocked and clean and neat.
Internet worked well
Beach towels and umbrellas were a happy surprise as we took a trip to Cascais.
Bed was comfy
Good sunlight despite being in a narrow lane
If you are a creative type, this neighbourhood is hands down, the best!
As others have mentioned, the washroom smell is strong but a nice strong incense would help mask it. It's really only bad if the apartment has been closed up all day.
Nevertheless, I would stay here again because Anne is super attentive and thorough in communication.
Also, this neighbourhood makes a tourist feel part of a community.
