Follow Joao's guide on how to get there.
1. The apartment is a real climb up 3 flights of steps but the advantage of a small rooftop terrace made it worthwhile for me and my friend.The second bedroom is very small but it serves it's purpose and was comfortable.
2. If you like being in the middle of a lively area, this is the place for you as the streets are full of young Portuguese partying. If you want late night peace and quiet...this isn't the place for you.
3. The nearby Mirodouro was an excellent place for viewing the city at night ( and during the day) and for chilling out towards the end of the day...a very popular spot.
4. The nearby bus stop also serves the Yellowbus tram and tourist tram service and we spent the 40 Euros to buy a 3 day pass for access to the hopon hopoff service which includes the tourist trams, Yellowbus routes and the boat trip to Belem. It also included the ocal funicular tram down to the Restauradores square from where you have easy access to the town centre.
