The apartment is clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and carefully arranged to make efficient use of the space. It is located on the historic Bica Funicular. Since the funicular was not operating at the time of our stay taxis were able to take us right to the entry door, which may not be possible when the system is in operation. This has become a very popular area with bars and restaurants attracting a crowd, but the windows are extremely effective in blocking outside noise. The location is great, just a short walk up the funicular to a busy street with the popular number 28 tram and a multitude of shops and restaurants. The center of the city is about a fifteen-minute walk through an interesting neighborhood. Entry is by electronic locks with codes provided by the host, who was very responsive to email requests.
