The apartment is really well located, close to plenty of bars and restaurants, and public transport, and walking distance to many sites of interest. You do have to go up some fairly steep streets to reach Chiado and Bairro Alto, but the bonus is that it's all downhill on the way home! It is a spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with good wifi, comfortable bed, good plumbing and plenty of hot water. The only negative - as others have said - is that the location is very noisy, with loud music from nightclubs, early morning revellers, and all manner of heavy vehicles rumbling past at every time of day and night. If it's not hot, you can keep the windows and shutters closed, muting the noise somewhat. If it is hot, you have to choose between having the apartment cooler or having it quieter. There is a bar directly below the apartment, so open windows also mean the constant presence of cigarette smoke. However, for us the positives of this apartment outweighed this negative.
