Luis is a very nice dude, welcomed us at the apartment, and showed us how to work with the quirks of the place (hot water switch etc, nothing too quirky). The apartment is spacious, clean, and worked really well for myself and my older parents. Also, modern design (midcentury modern) with some added flare and old finishes. Very cool.

The neighborhood is very close to key transit and within walking distance to one of my favorite parts of our trip: exploring the Alfama. If you are interested in sights in Barrio Alto or Campo de Orinque, be prepared for a hike or take one of the trams (28E, 25E) up there. Worth it.

One key point: If you plan to cook from home with food from a mercado, keep in mind there is no oven (but there is a gas mini stove, microwave, and fridge/freezer). Otherwise would totally recommend this place for people looking to stay at a place with good value and central location.
