The place is as central as it can be. Location is absolutely amazing- I haven’t used any public transport during the whole stay- as everything is just within 10 mins away.
However, the are negatives to consider too.
1)It’s ground floor- very dark. And you can’t really open the widows, as there are people passing behind them all the time.
2) Internet connection is strong, but not reliable. It can get abrupt any second and requires you to restart the modem. Sometimes I needed to do it every half an hour.
3) You need to take very quick showers, as hot water finishes after max 10 mins. It’s ok for a single person, but might cause more difficulties if it’s more than one person.
4) Portugal is very safe country. And I appreciate that the flat/ building is very old, however I felt uncomfortable with the level of security of the main door’s lock ( the only lock the apartment had ).
There is another more modern door when you enter - with possibility to lock it too, but I was told that the lock on that door want working.
5) Sometimes the host takes days/ weeks to reply- so definitely not happy with the communication I had.
