We were two couples that stayed here and had a great deal of room and privacy. Great location near the nightlife and numerous restaurants. However, once you closed the front windows and shutter and the living room door, it was very quiet and we could not hear anything from the street. The first bedroom was cozy and dark. You can walk to the metro, tram and funicular. There a great craft beer bar Duque, about a 10 minute walk from the apartment, near Sao Roque Church.
Cristina was very responsive and a great host. She had lots of info in her guidebook
