The apartament was very nice, but tiny. The place is a bit far from the Baixa and Chiado, where most of nice restaurants are. But IT is very close to Alfama where you can listen to fado. Just depends what you like to do. We used metro to communicate and from the metro stations
IT is 5 minute walk but mostly up, cos the apartment is on the top of the hill. The taxi to city centre is 5-6€.
IT could be more clean. We have not met Andre, all the things we manage through we Phone or his loevely cleaning lady Lola. Generally i recommend.
