Location, Location, Location! Right in the middle of Barrio Alto and close enough to Chiado. We were able to walk to great restaurants, bars and lots of sightseeing.
This unit is on the ground floor, so weekend nights are really loud - you can hear all the party goers on the street. During the day, the location is quiet and the terrace is a great place to have some breakfast.
Maria- our contact was easy to get a hold of and responded to all of my inquiries quickly.
She had a colleague check us in, who unfortunately didn't tell us how to lock the door properly. This cost us 100 Euro the first night to get back into our apartment because we needed to call in a locksmith.
The locks are different than in North America and if she had provided a heads up to how this works it could have saved us some money and time.
Other than that, the apartment is exactly as the pictures and is very clean and well equipped.
