The street is a cul de sac so there isn't that much traffic. The view of Lisbon is fantastic. You can the skyline with the Panteon as well as the river. There are lots of small markets on the neighboring street for food shopping and you are within walking distance of the Alfama as well as as the San Apolonia metro station. The apartment is roomy and well designed. The temperature is the apartment was comfortable and the kitchen had the basic equipment for cooking when we didn't want to go out to eat. The living room couch can pull out to a queen size bed if needed. Although it is in the 4th floor there is a lift. Gustavo was very helpful with neighborhood information and any other questions that we had.
