The space was nice and the view lovely! There were nice small cafes and shops just down the alley, so we got fresh bread etc. each morning. The apartment is in 2 stories and this created lovely privacy, as I got the whole top floor to myself. :)
For transportation, the bus goes from very close by to the Praça do Comércio. We used that and walked alot, also Uber is cheap, so it wasn't too much of a problem that the place is not in the centrum.
Oveall a great experience.
