The photos are accurate and the place is extremely central - right in the middle of the Bairro Alto. Because it was in the centre of the Bairro ALto it was noisy at night but this was not a major issue for us as you would expect this from anywhere so central. Staying here was the first time that I had ever used AirBnB and Paulo was always good for answering any queries I had which put me at ease. He even organised taxis to and from the airport for us.
