This is a great location In the heart of the Bairro Alto district. We were there in a Sunday so things were pretty quiet , not sure what it would be like on a Friday or Saturday evening. Lots of restaurants and bars near by. Laura explained everything about the apartment on arrival and gave us a tip on a restaurant near by. The apartment was clean and comfortable, a good value for the money. There are a lot of stairs to climb so probably would not work for people with young children or the elderly.
