The apartment is very close to a metro station and a walking distance away from the city center. I never had to use trams or metro for sightseeing actually, walked everywhere from this place. If you are coming with a very heavy luggage from the airport via metro, it might be a little hard though, because from Martim Moniz station, you have to walk through a hill to reach the place. The building itself is old. But the apartment, room and bathroom are clean and decently modern. There is a kitchen with all kinds of equipments for cooking. Soaps, towels, toilet papers were provided at the bathroom. There is small convenience store very close and 3 supermarkets within 5-6 minutes walking distance. Considering the price, I was satisfied with this stay. Also, Helder was very helpful to give me directions and recommendations about the city.
