This sunny, spacious apartment was very comfortable for our multi - generational family of six. We enjoyed the balcony on the sunny mornings. Ines was very helpful with suggestions for restaurants and how to purchase Viva cards for the tram and trains. There are lots of great places to eat within walking distance. And we enjoyed sampling the delicious Pastel da Nata tarts at several local shops! We had no issues with outside noise at all. As she says, it is an old building with high, original ceilings and wood floors. This can make for some echoing noise within the apartment during the day, but everything was pretty quiet at night....
