PROS and CONS of Francisco's apartment
PROS:
It is wonderfully located. The neighbourhood is mainly inhabited by locals and you can feel it: nearby there are great quality, really cheap restaurants, full of portuguese people having lunch. There is also a supermarket 5 minutes walking from the apartment, and the bus, tram and metro stops are right at the door of the building.
Also, the "Bairro Alto" is only 10 minutes away.
Besides, the apartment is very charming: It is an attic, situated in a 1800 building, wooden floored and full of windows. Lovely.
CONS:
It is really noisy: the street traffic is very loud, never ending and can be heard perfectly from the bed. On the other hand, the bedroom floor is a bit tilted, and so is the bed: you roll over constantly when sleeping, being a little uncomfortable.
*********
All in all, it is a quite cheap, very charming and very well situated apartament, with only some minimum disadvantages.
