The apartment, a 5-floor walk-up, looks great, exactly like in the photos. It has 2 bedrooms, one bigger, with a matrimonial bed, and a smaller one, with a twin bed. There's also the living room and the dining room with a generous dining table for 4 (it can accommodate 6, I guess). The kitchen -- small, like all other kitchens in somehow older buildings -- is equipped with everything that you'd need for a quick vacation; the bathroom is somehow tiny, too. The apartment has cable and wi-fi.

The building, which looks great and has that Portuguese charm that you tend to see in photos of Lisbon, is located between Praca de Dom Pedro IV, in the north, and Praca de Comercio, in the south; walking distance to bars and restaurants in Bairro Alto.

The owners were really nice and welcoming, and had some great suggestions for restaurants and sites nearby.

One AC unit heats up the apartment, which could be an issue for colder months.

All in all, we recommend the place.
