The location of the apartment is ideal when you want to stay up until 5am and party hard. For all others, I would rather search for an apartment in a more quiet street. We felt as if we were standing in a group of people as we tried to sleep. On the other hand, it is located really good, when you want to start your sightseeing tour. :)
As of the state of the apartment.. when we entered the building, the first thing we noticed was a really musty and dark staircase in which we also found old plastic bottles and cigarettes. Unfortunately the bathroom was not really clean as we arrived. The state of the apartment in general differs from the pictures which must be several years old. Elsa & Rui were friendly and helpful, even offered to fix some smaller issues during our stay.
