This exceeded all expectations. The apartment itself is just across the street from a bustling plaza. The doors to your room open up - you look down and the famous historic street cars zoom past. It's just unbelievable. My friend and I spent hours the first night with chairs in the window drinking wine and people watching right there from our room. But, of course -- we went out too! The apartment is within walking distance of everything you'd ever want to explore. I would definitely stay here again. Also - most comfortable mattresses in all of Portugal!
