The pictures presented on here somewhat better than the actual place. The apartment looks smaller in real life. The apt has two rooms; the second room has no windows, is dark, and did not feel very welcoming. The shower cabinet is tiny; a large person might have difficulties taking a shower there. The apt is well located: near a beautiful miradouro and with an easy commute. However, we arrived before a holiday and a few fest which took place just outside the place, and therefore our impression was that of a "bad neighborhood." The streets around were full of cheering crowds and the party went until 1 AM; it was impossible to sleep before that. The sound Isolation of the apartment is really poor and we felt like the party happened in our apartment. If a neighbor walks by the corridor outside the apt, it will sound as if someone is inside the apt. The nexts night were fine. On non party days not much seems to be going on in the neighborhood.
To get to the apt, you will need to get up a flight of stairs in a quite narrow stairwell. It might be difficult to get up the stairs with a big suitcase or strollers. The building doesn't have an elevator either. The staircase had an unpleasant smell.
Also note there are no fans, air conditioners, or heating in the apartment. As far as the bathroom is concerned. The water in the shower can get boiling hot. The towels were quite thin and old and there was no soap for the shower.
