the apartment was just as described and great. the location is awesome- literally next to rossio Square and walking distance to so many of the main and walking distance to main tourist attractions.. my kids loved the balconies looking out at the street and praca dos retauradores. so convenient to have laundry ( washer/dryer) too. it is on a busy street wjth restaurants nearby so there is noise (but that should be expected with such a convenient location). if you close the doors and shutters properly it does good job of blocking noise but if you are a light sleeper just bring ear plugs. we had a great stay.
