I stayed in this apartment for a month over March, after staying in a different one downstairs for two months. The apartment is beautiful and gets *a lot* of light. It's comfortable, the beds are good, and the kitchen, while small, is perfectly usable for cooking (which I did every day). The apartment is located just up from Bairro Alto, however, it's on a small street and is very quiet (I didn't have any noise problems for the entire three months I was staying in the building). There are some great cafes and bars in the surrounding area (I love the Esplanada Cafe, less than two minutes' walk away) as well as local shops for buying fruit and vegetables, and a supermarket just down the hill. The only thing I will point out is that the furniture has changed a little since the pictures were taken: notably, the big table shown has been replaced by a sofa. This was a little disappointing, as I work from home and what kind of table is available is one of the key things I look at. That said, there is a small table in there, as well as another (rather wobbly) fold-out table in the cupboard which was sufficient. And I must admit, I did get a lot of use out of the sofa and TV (which has been moved to the wall in front) so it wasn't a major problem. Overall, I'd highly recommend the apartment - I will stay again!
