Flavia's apartment was nicer than it looked in the pictures. Everything was neat, clean and the appliances are better quality than I have at home. The location is very central to public transportation and many of the tourist sites. The sidewalk cafes downstairs were quite good and reasonably priced.
The view means you are higher than the neighbors. The stairs are good quality but this is a 3rd floor walk up and located on one of Lisbon's many hillsides. Still our old retired bodies got us everywhere we wanted to go.
