We didn't meet Luisa and instead her boyfriend let us in the apartment. The apartment is very centrally located in the heart of Bairro Alto. Everything is a half an hour walk away and even though the neighbourhood can get noisy at night, there's a noise control "door" to keep the place quiet and serene. The apartment is also very close to some nice cafes and bars with wifi access (as listed in the apartment, there is no wifi) and plenty of small groceries and bakeries.

The place has a nice kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, as well as an outside private patio (although many other apartments have a view of this patio).

Note that the bathroom has a tank for hot water for a shower of under 10 minutes. This means that if you are coming with someone else and you both want hot showers you will probably have to stagger them. As well, the shower is the only tap with hot water.
