Beautiful, sunny, and well equipped (washer, refrigerator with freezer, hair dryer, iron, and other appliances) apartment with a view of the river. Lots of animated conversations going on in the street, but it's not a nuisance at all. The area is very old world feel, but do make sure you know exactly how to walk home, or tell a cab driver how to get there. We did get turned around quite a bit (and late at night, but the few people along the streets we did meet were helpful). Joana was there when we arrived and was very helpful. Would highly recommended her apartment.
