The apartment is as shown in the pictures. The owner gave us quick answers when we texted her, we never met her though. The kitchen is well equipped, which was great for us, while generally speaking the apartment is a bit old fashioned. It is a ground floor, not much natural light. During the winter it can get cold however there is a small electrical heater available. About the location, it is around 30 minutes walk to Baixa, you have to climb hilly streets when coming back. Several supermarkets, bars and restaurants around.
