The apartment is a typical Portuguese standard, I would say. It contains 6 rooms with 2 bathrooms, huge kitchen & living room and a very lovely terrace. The atmosphere is rather anonymous as check-in and check-out are done with key boxes. But the hosts will come over to the place as they are cleaning the apartment every day. The rooms have heating which is not standard in Portugal and Alcantara is a nice neighborhood to stay for a few days. In the other hand you have to get used to thin walls. I could actually understand all conversations in my flatmates rooms. Anyway, for this price range it's a more than okay place to stay.
