We loved our stay here! The apartment is bigger than it looks in the pictures, and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Samuel is a great host and really helpful and flexible with checking in and out times. The location of this apartment couldn't be better. As others have said, it is a lovely street with lots of little bars so you do have to be prepared for noise at night, and again in the morning when the funicular starts up and the street is cleaned. It is not the place for you if you are a light sleeper, but if you don't mind the noise (we didn't) it's actually quite nice listening to all the different sounds of the street! It was much quieter on Sunday and Monday than Friday/Saturday as well. Tips locally: Os Bons Malandros is a fab little restaurant a few doors up. Sensible to book as it's popular! The bar opposite the apartment does a great caipirinha for only €4. And make sure you visit the incredible Time Out Market (go early in the evening to get a seat) - get the funicular back up the hill! We definitely plan to stay here again.
