The old town is safe and easily accessible. It is very close to the train station. Easy to get to and from airport. Best to avoid the "Fado" restaurants as the singing may be uplifting but the food and the price of it is not.
The apartment is very comfortable for its size and its location enabled us to walk everywhere despite some very hilly areas.
Bed and shower really good and is generally quiet outside. Sound insulation inside could be better but this is obviously a very old building. Lots to enjoy!
