Believe the hype! This apartment is fantastic. The location was better than I could have imagined. It is perfectly situated within a few minutes walk of the bar scene in barrio alto, and also a few minutes of the great Time Out food market located down the hill.
The beds were comfortable, the apartment was clean and exactly as pictured, and the view and balcony was incredible.
If you are very tall--6'1" and over--the master bedroom might be slightly tricky. The wall is on a slant and the door to the bathroom is very low. Duck or hit your head in the middle of the night. We ended up using the second bathroom off the living room rather than ducking into the en suite bathroom.
Despite being close to bars with loud patrons on the street--this apartment is silent with the windows closed. You will sleep well.
Highly recommend.
