We had a wonderful stay. This bijou, traditional apartment has loads of character and is in a very interesting (and very central) part of the city. Literally overlooking Elevador da Bica! Great views of the river, the bridge and the Jesus statue from the balcony. The place is surrounded by late night bars (and late night revellers!) - if this isn't for you I would suggest booking somewhere a little more off the beaten track. The flip side of this is that there are lots of places to eat, late night convenience stores etc and it felt comfortable for us to wander around late into the evening.
