The host is very friend, helpful & easy to communicate with through mobile phone. On the table he has prepared a folder full of helpful recommendations of sights & restaurants nearby. The balcony has amazing views of sunrise & sunset! There's a friendly grocery store downstairs stocked with everything you need. From the apartment is walkable to Chiado, Baixa, Rossy Square, Avenida da Liberdade & Principe Real area. Just a few steps away from the apartment is the Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara (too bad when we were there it was under renovation), Pavilhao Chines, Igreja de Sao Roque & Calcada da Gloria. Although it's very near to Bairro Alto's nightlife but it's not very noisy. I highly recommend this apartment to everyone! And yes we have a peacock as our neighbour!
