We made an excellent choice in selecting this apartment. Here are the key attributes to this apartment that will help you choose from others:
Location - The apartment sits on the east side of the Baixa area at the foot of the Alfama. Easy walking distance to Alfama, Chiado, Bairro Alto, Rossio, etc. We never took a taxi. There is also a supermarket (Pingo Doce) a few meters down the street.
Soundproof - the apartment has beautiful glass doors to step out onto the balcony; however, once you shut the doors (double pane windows) you hear virtually no traffic or noise from the street
Comfort/Amenities - The apartment has everything you will need including washer/dryer, coffee maker, blow dryer, etc and all the cookware you would need if you want to cook while here. The air conditioner works perfectly.
Elevator - New elevator - so no walking up stairs
Excellent Host - Alexandra met us at the apartment and she was prompt and happy to show us where everything was and how things worked.
Will definitely stay here again when we return.
