The apartment is in an amazing location - right in the heart of Rua Augusta, a pedestrian-only street with all of the shops, restaurants, public transport, and landmarks at your doorstep. The apartment has been recently renovated and still has that 'newness' smell, with brand new appliances, furniture, unique decorative touches and great use of the space. The self check-in process was very easy to follow. Since cars are not allowed on Rua Augusta, we found it very easy to walk to the Starbucks at Rua de Santa Justa, less than a block away, and have the Uber pick up (or drop off) at that location as it is on a less busy side street. I mention this as I was traveling with a parent with mobility issues and found that this was a convenient / easy alternative. While there is lively activity on the street below throughout the day (perfect for people watching on the apartment balcony), the noise wasn't much of an issue when sleeping at night. Liliana and Sofia were very responsive and made sure were were comfortable during our stay. The hosts have a very detailed book of helpful suggestions / recommendations, which we appreciated. Highly recommend!
