We had a hire car and were told parking would be available nearby. For anyone needing to park near the Bairro Alto good luck! The place is teeming with cars. Anyway got to the apartment and the girl who met my daughter wasn't overly helpful. She didn't explain where things were or about the inevitable idiosyncrasies of staying in an old roof top flat. Anyway the flat is small, modestly equipped and up a very narrow steep set of stairs. Really not suitable for old people. However the view from the roof terrace is surely one of the best around. So great view, flat adequate but perfect location for the nightlife of the Bairro.
