The apartment has a great description but it is better than described - it is fantastic!
The location is as central as you would want - right in the heart of Bairro Alto. It is only a few metres to Praça Luís de Camões where you pick up the yellow Tram 28 to go to the Castle. There are dozens of places to eat and drink yet the apartment is in the quiet end of the street.
The apartment is spotless and everything is brand new in the refurbishment. Lovely shutters and curtains. Great original wooden floor. Extremely modern kitchen and bathroom. New and fluffy white towels. Excellent and effective air conditioning - there is a unit in each room. It we only used one to keep the place at the right temperature. Do what the Italians do and close the shutters when you are out during the day and the place stays cool - even though it was 32 degrees outside.
Tip - buy a Viva viagem travel card. It costs less than 7 Euro for 24 hours from the first point of use. It gets you on metro, buses, trams and elevadors.
We did not get to meet our hosts but Alexandre stayed in touch and was brilliant.
Last point - it was so good we would live here! Will certainly return and stay for more than a couple of days!
